Julia Child, My Life in France

May 19, 2008 Temple Emeth in Putterham Circle

Amazingly energetic, creative, and ultimately inimitable (despite many attempts), Julia Child (d.2004) brought French cooking to American kitchens. For this book she worked with her husband's grandnephew Alex Prud'homme to record her experiences between 1948 and 1954 in Paris and Marseille (and a few later adventures), which she terms the best years of her life. Like her life, her book is full of fun and zest. Fans will savor, or devour, this account. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Geraldine Brooks, March

Jun 16, 2008 Temple Emeth in Putterham Circle

From Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women," Brooks has taken the character of the absent father, March, and has added adult resonance to portray the moral complexity of war and a marriage tested by the demands of extreme idealism.
