COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Not quite what I expected, but interesting nonetheless submitted by sherlonya on July 10, 2011, 7:04pm This book did a good job painting the picture of what it was like to be in the OSS during World War II, and what life was like after the war for its former members. However, based on the title, cover and book jacket copy, I expected this book to talk more about the courtship of Julia and Paul Child. It wasn't what I expected, but still a good read.
