A Covert Affair : Julia Child And Paul Child In The OSS
by Jennet Conant

The title of this book is very misleading. The Childs barely scratch the surface. Jane Foster is the main character who was accused of being a Soviet spy. They all used to pal around together when the three of them worked for the OSS during World War II.
Jennet Conant has written three previous books and I attempted to read each one but gave up in disgust. I don't know what it is about her writing. She seems to have trouble melding everything together to make the subject palatable.
A Covert Affair is no better and you don't learn much about the Childs.
Not recommended.
