GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of Cleaving by Julie Powell Audiobook

by


I’ve got 3 copies of the Audiobook version of Cleaving by Julie Powell courtesy of Anna at Hachette Book Group to share with my readers. Julie is also the author of Julie & Julia which was a big hit. I bet this one will be great as well.

Here’s a bit about the book:

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.

Listen to an excerpt here.
