This is a book that I read a little everyday, but not exclusively. It's very long and at times, tedious. The author does say at the beginning there are more letters from Avis, than Julia, but this is an understatement. There are tons more pages of Avis.It's interesting from an historical point of view, to hear how these 2 women lived thru the political climate of the time and we have the point of view of knowing just how the elections turned out . This story of the friendship is one you have to like and it's THEIR lives, so I guess they can basically write what they want.But I couldn't like Avis very much. She would always say she didn't have time to write a letter, yet her correspondance went on endlessly. She liked to name-drop, obviously favored one of her sons over the other and didn't like her husband very much. She was well-off and certainly hard to relate to her life at all.I hate to say it, but I think I like Julia a little less after reading this book. She had hatred for certain groups( Republicans, gays, Catholics, to name a few). It did get a little old that she hated republicans, for one thing. I think this was only because she hated her father and he was one. It did have alot of political stuff, which I ended up skimming after awhile.I was curious about Bernard DeVoto so I looked up some of his writing and read about 2 paragraphs--couldn't get into anything he wrote.More and more I feel like Julia's cookbook was more of an obessive-compulsive venture that dragged on for 8 years rather than something that was truly meant to reach American cooks. It reminded me of a rich lady looking for something to do to occupy her time. This came thru in the letters. (I do own the cookbook)I think the one thing that I got out of this book was that Julia Child was just human like the rest of us, and not some idol like some people like to make her to be. When I confirmed what I had suspected, that she was an athiest, it really diminished my view of her. She was good in the kitchen, for sure, but the athiesm just changed even the way I see her cooking videos.
This book is like a time capsule into the past. I found the earliest letters the most fascinating. Two interesting women not only discussing recipes and cooking techniques, but politics and art. It was upsetting how casually homophobic and even racist these liberal anti McCarthy democrats were. These letters are brutally honest, about marriage, parenting and women's roles in the world they occupied. The gap between the classes was glaring in this book also, it was painfully apparent these two women hailed from the upper class, discussing how hard it was to get a good cook or maid. Summer homes and months long European vacations despite this or maybe cecause of this,I enjoyed it very much,
This is a book of letters, correspondence between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto, who became one of Child's best friends and confidants before they ever met. They first "met" when Child sent a fan letter to author/columnist Bernard DeVoto concerning cooking knives, and Avis replied on behalf of her husband. Thus began a friendship that lasted until death. This book doesn't go that far, but it does cover the period when "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" was being written. These women wrote about everything: life, death, gossip, politics, and, of course, writing and publishing the book. A very interesting look back at the times and the early career of Child.
Earlier I reviewed this book based on having read 21% of the content; which remains embedded within this updated review. Now, with the entire book completed, I see more depth in the totality of letters exchanged between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto than was evident in the early letters.This is a "book of many colors". It is historical. It is political. It is about relationships. It contains elements of hope; frustration; despair; persistence; and,ultimately, triumph over what at times must have seemed like overwhelming odds.I am only 21% of the way through these fascinating letters be Julia Child and Avis DeVoto so this is but a very brief review of this work, however, it is also the only time I have been so engrossed in a book that I find it valuable to write a review as a "work in progress".As an amatuer cook given to experienting will numerous styles of cuisine, I am not sure what I expected when I ordered this book in Kindle format but I assure those who read this that what I received is far more than what I believed the book would be. I guess I expected, well, a cookbook. To this point in my reading I have come to see this work as something far more important and, for those interested in history and travel, something totally unexpected.If you are familiar with Julia Child through her cookbooks and PBS shows, then you, like I, don't know Julia as a person outside of her known field of expertise. Born in the mid-1940's, much of what is discussed in the letters relative to the political climate of the United States, post-World War II resonates with what I, and every other "Baby-Boomer" grew up with in the 50's and beyond. It provides an interesting perspective of what Julia and Avis (both obviously staunch Liberals) see as dangerous within the U.S.; Julia as an American living abroad with her husband working for the State Department, and Avis living in the U.S. married to a successful, if too liberal, author.Highly recommended for cooks and those who aspire to be cooks; historians and those who think history is boring.The preceding 4 paragraphs are from the original review.Throughout these letters and Reardon's commentaries, we see a progression as the "pen-pal" friendship blossoms. The letters become more intimate. Attitudes and prejudices surface revealing much about both Julia and Avis. Julia loves France but seems, at times. to dislike the French. Avis mentions friends with a "certain condition", namely, that they are lesbians - revealing the deep-seated prejudice against gays and lesbians prevalent up until very recently (when viewed in the context of history). The use of the word "gay" in some of the letters is quickly explained to mean the true definition of the word as opposed to the sexual orientation it has come to represent.Nothing in these letters serves to diminish the accomplishments of Julia, Simca, and Avis in the authorship and publication of Julia's and Simca's recognized masterpiece; nor, Julia's success as a star on PBS. These letters show what life was like from the late 40's through Avis' death and, in the Epilogue, beyond to further discuss (in commentary) Julia's continued success as an author and television personality.Deserves more than 5-stars but that's all that are available.
