Delightful short biography of The French Chef. I had no idea Child was in the OSS, but she was- and she kept her signaling mirror in her kitchen drawer ever after, just in case. Lots of fascinating facts, warmly told. Too short by half.

An interesting read, especially in contrast to Julia Child's own (auto)biography which I read last month. Some interesting thoughts about her making herself into someone Paul Child loved, and I also learned about her dislike of homosexuality.
