A review by lucy_12
Piglettes by Clémentine Beauvais
3.0
Perhaps it's the author's style, or the fact it's aimed at a YA audience, or maybe some subtlety has been lost in translation, but I found the narration a bit OTT at first.
Once I acclimatised however, this was enjoyable romp through rural France and a heartening tale of courage and friendship.
A few reviewers in here are complaining that many aspects are just not realistic, but isn't that why we read? To escape reality?
(Plus they have a few of their facts wrong. The girls bought most of the sausages from a market rather than make them all themselves, they did have a licence to sell food, they had a rechargeable fridge and several references were made to charging it, and they most certainly did not have perfect weather all the way. Hmph!)
