I've seen The Elegance of the Hedgehog popping around over the years, yet only now decided to read it. I kind of wish I picked it up sooner because this was so so so good!!!! It's complex, thought-provoking, with likable characters (even though they can be off at times), and exquisite prose!! This novel is an absolute gem that almost made me cry!!
