Really enjoyed this book. Reminded me of how ingenious people can be when they have to be. I think some of the published reviews of this book are a little too glowing--it wasn't life changing or all that insightful into the human condition--but it was a great story and a good read. Whenever I find myself feeling irritated that I'm home all day with two munchkins, I think of the mom in this book and it improves my attitude instantly.

Julie Powell decides to cook all the recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. 1, by Julia Child. I enjoyed this book for what it was not as much as for what it was. Powell does not rant about how nasty it is to eat offal (she likes most of it), she doesn't bemoan the endless sticks of butter (she even takes her weight gain in stride) and she doesn't flinch when Ms. Child seems unimpressed by the project. She just plows on through the recipes, with occasional references to plumbing problems, Buffy and her secretarial job. The book is as fluffy as a well-made buttercream and as a foodie who tends away from French food, I found Powell's kitchen escapades amusing and a bit dashing.
interesting book and story.
A lot of friends who read this book told me that they found it unnerving. I didn't. I did, however, find bits of the physical layout of it annoying. If this book was supposed to mirror the house on Ash Tree Lame in its labyrinthine nature, it failed, as I didn't get lost.

Not sure if I can explain this correctly. At once boring and entertaining. Flaubert has a knack for a beautiful turn of phrase. This main character is awful, however.

I love the connections this author makes, along with his original descriptions and underlying sensuality juxtaposed with harsh reality.

A Very Long Engagement tells the story of Mathilde, a woman who has been told that her fiance, Manech, died in the war. Something seems fishy about his death so she begins to investigate. She wants to know what happened to him, and something keeps telling her that he is still alive somewhere. She soon learns of five soldiers condemned to death for self-mutilation, one of them was Manech. The reader unravels the clues along with Mathilde as she receives more and more information about her fiance's mysterious death. Honestly, I did not like this book at all. There were too many characters and unnecessary details. The whole book was very confusing and I didn't actually understand what happened until the Chapter where she talks to "That Man". I also did not think that this book taught me a lot about WWI. I wasn't expecting too be a history book of course, but I thought I might take something away from it. If I learned anything, it was that the people fighting in the war were not good to there soldiers. Some of them lied and some were thieves, it seems that they were not very good people. I also thought maybe it would give me a better idea of life in France at the time, but again, I was mistaken. It does not describe France from the point of view of an average French woman or even someone without bias at all, it shows France from Mathilde's perspective. Mathilde is not average at all. First of all, she is in a wheel chair so people treat her differently (and I will have to agree with her character that just because she is in a wheel chair, it doesn't mean she is any different, but not everyone in France thinks the way we do). Second, she doesn't describe France because she lives there and why would she need to show the reader something she has already seen. What I mean is, if I was writing a diary entry and I said: "I walked into my room." I wouldn't describe what my room looks like. I already know what it looks like! Adding "it was small, and my clothes were all over the floor." would not make any difference to me because I am the one reading it and I already know what my room looks like. The book was written for the benefit of the character, Mathilde, so therefore she does not need to give an accurate description of France because she already knows what it is like. Third, Mathilde was looking for her "dead" fiance. How many women had the time and the means to go and investigate the death of there loved ones? In the book there were two. One was Mathilde and the other was Angelo's lover. All of the other widows accepted the fact that there husbands were dead and had to go on with there lives because they had to support themselves and/or their children. Mathilde however, had this unlimited supply of cash to fund her investigation and she didn't have to work at al. She basically had all the time in the world and all the resources she needed at her fingertips. I feel like this was not the usual case for widowed women in France after WWI. There were too many characters, places, different perspectives, names and it was all too much to keep track of. I also did not think this was a good book to read to help me understand life after WWI. I did not like this book, and I wont recommend it to my friends. I will probably recommend the movie though. I thought the movie was much better than the book. The characters annoyed me (mostly Mathilde), but it is much easier to understand. It also provides a good visual of France at the time, and the trenches.
