An instant international bestseller and a USA Today bestseller, The Secret War of Julia Child is a Washington Post Best Historical Fiction Book of 2024 and a People magazine Best Book of Fall. It has also been named a New York Post Book of the Week. Julia McWilliams, a single, 6-foot-2, 30-year-old woman, took a job working for America's first espionage agency, years before cooking or Paris entered the picture. The Secret War of Julia Child traces Julia's transformation from an ambitious Pasadena blue blood to a Washington, DC file clerk to the head of General "Wild Bill" Donovan's secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services. The wartime journey takes her to South Asia's remote front lines of then-Ceylon, India, and China, where she finds purpose, adventure, self-knowledge, and love with mapmaker Paul Child. The spotlight has rarely shone on this fascinating period of time in the life of Julia Child, and this lyrical story allows us to explore the unlikely world of a woman in a World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she'll eventually impart.
