Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession (Large type / large print) - Softcover
Julie Powell thought cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the craziest thing she'd ever do--until she embarked on the voyage recounted in her new memoir, CLEAVING. Her marriage challenged by an insane, irresistible love affair, Julie decides to leave town and immerse herself in a new obsession: butchery. She finds her way to Fleischer's, a butcher shop where she buries herself in the details of food. She learns how to break down a side of beef and French a rack of ribs--tough, physical work that only sometimes distracts her from thoughts of afternoon trysts. The camaraderie at Fleischer's leads Julie to search out fellow butchers around the world--from South America to Europe to Africa. At the end of her odyssey, she has learned a new art and perhaps even mastered her unruly heart.

Review:
"Smart and compelling...Powell's steadfast femininity and confident voice are refreshing." (The San Francisco Chronicle)
"[A]n engaging writer. Fast, funny and observant...she's your mean best friend sending instant messages that make you snort at your desk." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Since her year spent cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, recounted in Julie & Julia, Julie Powell's mind has turned to meat. Cleaving follows Powell as she learns to butcher, and the process is inspired by, and dovetails with, a personal story – this time of her overcoming an affair that threatens her marriage. Pleasures of the flesh, indeed." (Vogue)
"Powell’s hectic, confiding style is the literary equivalent of a girly evening of dirty gossip over a bottle or five of Sauvignon blanc . . . her narrative is vivid, well-structured, intense and moving." (The Daily Mail)
"Ms. Powell is a wonderful prose writer." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Highly readable . . . beautiful writing, effortlessly filling pages with virtuoso descriptions of animal slaughter and human travail." (The Sunday Times)
