Dearie

It took me a long time to finish this but I finally did! I really enjoy biographies in general and this is a pretty good one. I felt like the author did a good job of capturing Julia's era especially with regard to her manner of speaking and lack of political correctness. I have grandparents from her time and can notice a lot of similarities although they are the opposite side of the political spectrum. Some of the book felt repetitive as the author reused a lot of similar language and tropes throughout.

Overall it was enjoyable and I would recommend this book to any biography lovers or at-home chefs.

Short Review - Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child - Julia has to be one of the most interesting women of the 20th century. She give great hope to the late bloomers of the world, not married until her early 30s. Didn't start cooking till mid 30s, did not start her first cookbook until 43, didn't get it published until 50, her first tv show at the same time. I have read ‘My Life in France'. That book made me fascinated with cooking. Dearie was more focused on Julia.
