This felt very overwritten and I’m not sure if it was the original text or the translation.

In this book Barbery invites the reader to put themselves in the scene and makes the reader see it through Rose's eyes. Reading A Single Rose is a kind of sensory experience for me, everything is described in great detail. If you looking for a book about rediscovering the joy of life and the importance of hope, A Single Rose might be your pick.

There’s no doubt I enjoy Muriel Barbery’s writing.
I underline and tab her books without holding back.
The only reason I’m going with 4 instead of 5 here is because I did not like the “relationship” side of the story. The rest? I enjoyed.
