Julie Powell charmed readers with
Julie and Julia, in which she chronicled her quest to cook, in one year, every recipe out of Julia Child's
Mastering the Art of French Cooking. After its huge success and that of the subsequent blockbuster movie, she's back with a new memoir:
Cleaving: A Book of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession. Far from a fluffy follow-up, she writes about learning to cut up animals at a butcher shop in upstate New York, while trying to make sense of her marriage after having an obsessive, two year affair.
