Read: Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme - My Life in France

In preparation for our time in France I wanted to read something set in France. And as I browsed the collection of e-books in the Toronto Library system for the first time (I've realized I can borrow them to read on my laptop, which ensures I will not be bereft of English reading material while in France), it occurred to me to enter the search term 'France'. Up came this book, which was a perfect match - an entertaining biography of what life was like for a newcomer to France, plus lots of great food writing. Now I'm more excited than ever to be going there.
