Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child by Bob Spitz

5.0

Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child by Bob Spitz has to be one of the best biographies I have read. Spitz paints such a vivid portrait of Julia Child that emphasizes her fun, vivacious and precocious nature. Child was a determined woman who was at times extremely detail oriented and at times devilish, even into her 90s. She lived life for her friends, family and herself, on her terms. Julia lived life to its fullest until the day she died and even in death, she left the world on her terms. As much as this book is about Julia and her forage into and reign over the culinary world, it is about truly living in the moment and making the most of every day.
