A review by estellegodard
Gourmet Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery

reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No

3.0

beautifully written and includes exquisite descriptions of food. the writing style (like the author’s other book) is dense and flowery. for the culinary passages this style works in favor of the material, really evoking the sensations wholly. I didn’t think the side characters added much to the plot & definitely enjoyed the reflective moments of the protagonist the most.
