The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A contemplative, slow paced book. The focus is not on plot but the internal lives of the characters mulling over how to find meaning in life. A few instances of offensive outdated language used casually (which jars me among the rest of the very intellectual and dense language).
