Cleaving A Story of Marriage Meat and Obsession - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Julie Powell 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 obs... more »ession: 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.
