This was the last in a recent glut of 'food' books that began with Julia Child - apparently lots of other people wanted to read it because I waited in a long virtual line at the library for it. I'd moved on to other things by the time it arrived and hadn't really expected to do more than glance through the first chapter before putting it down. Instead I stayed up too late to finish it and only fell asleep once. The description of her father's lamb roasting party, woven into her local-food rural idyllic upbringing, was lovely and lulled me into the sense that this would be like those books where milking your own cow is better than graduating from Harvard, where children are home-schooled and end up with perfect scores and Nobel prizes - in other words, all things modern are bad. I actually like those books, at some level, because there is a lot we do wrong with 'modern'. Then, of course, she turns 13 and her life explodes and the book moves on to what I thought she accurately described as Pippi Longstocking fantasy - though I added "Pippi Gone Wild". She isn't terribly angry at her folks, interestingly enough, though places the blame of circumstance at their feet (fairly). I enjoyed what I often enjoy in books about food - the passionate obsession the author pours into writing about their passionate obsession. Why would someone become a chef or cook if they didn't absolutely, completely love food? She points out they must also love the life because its hell, but I was even a bit...well, intrigued and enamored of 'the life' reading her descriptions. And I dabbled a bit and got out. Quickly. She is right though - there is a certain family-ness to the restaurant/food business, usually dysfunctional but also supportive and very hard to leave. She talks about food and about her experiences in Italy with the same devotion, though not the same achievement of joy, as Julia Child. I expect she is still working on the joy part - for most of us, it is a journey. Outside of the food writing, I enjoyed a few other parts of the book. First, was a description of conversations with her sister that was lovely and descriptive of how the women in my family communicate: "But her purpose is not merely to convey to me the story or the information until I have comprehended. Her purpose is to take a long luxurious bath in my ear and to disgorge the entire unedited contents of her brain - with sidebars, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, and repetitions - so that she can examine those contents. She is processing." Exactly. I book marked the page (154). She also had interesting comments on the Woman in the Culinary Arts that resonated. Someone introduced her as one of the "top female chefs" and she wondered why the description had to include 'female'. Why couldn't she just be one of the top chefs? She pointed out that for many women, there is the agony of deciding what to wear - not because they are all about fashion, but because they don't know what will present themselves the most professionally, feminine but not girly, reliable but not 'sturdy'...while men just put on pants. I am the least conscious dresser (as I am told when its pointed out that lime green socks may not have been the best choice with maroon pants), but her comment made me think about the labels we put on things, almost unconsciously.

This was the first Connie Willis book that I read. The thing that I like the best about the book is how she emphasizes the importance of chaotic elements in innovation of new ideas. Because I am a chaotic person I found this immensely appealing.

I love how this book brings Christianity and magic together. It proves that two things can be taught to children. A child should know the magic of being a child, but at the same time know that there is a higher power. My son loves to watch the movies based on this series(wish he would it), the movies are nothing like this series. I believe that all children can gain knowledge from the series, even if it isn't the Christian aspect.

Interesting story, centering around the 4th wife of a Nigerian businessman. When she enters the household, the first 3 wives aren't too pleased, so in retaliation, they keep a very important family secret from her. The story is told in the voices of all four wives, which gives the reader a good understanding of where every is coming from. The book is in turns humorous in an ironic way, not in the crack-you-up, ha-ha kind of way; serious, but not too heavy; and thoughtful. There are some Nigerian cultural norms that, if one doesn't know about, can confuse the story sometimes; it did for me, although eventually you get it.
