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.
