As Always, Julia Edited by Joan Reardon

This collection of the letters between Julia and her pen pal turned life long friend, Avis, is tender, funny and very enlightening. It was touching to see this friendship growing with each letter. I thought the background political context to their lives were very interesting but what struck me the most was the technological revolution that was happening and how it was affecting the culture at the time. It's amazing what we take for granted now (tv, processed/fast food, instant messaging, etc.) that was so foreign to them then.
