looking for either a solid intellectual/cultural history, a french classic, or historical fiction work that explores this world in preparation for an upcoming trip to paris please!!
Mastering the Art of French Murder (2023) by Colleen Cambridge
A fun mystery, set in Paris in the late 1940s. The main character is a young American woman, living in Paris with her uncle and grandpêre. The cookbook author Julia Child is a character. The author really makes Julia come alive, reproducing her enthusiastic way of talking. I’ve seen Julia’s TV cooking shows, so when I read the dialog, I hear her in my mind.
