" i enjoyed this book because i learned more about julia child, a most admirable woman. speaking about it to a fellow book group member, she mentioned how the author listed so many people in the text. one term that the author used at least twice was "close proximity." hey, ms fitch--proximity means closeness, so you are saying close closeness. a reader could flounder in names, and i'm not going to read any other noel riley fitch biographies if i can help it. a somewhat breezier approach would have been better.
