nandanz 's review for:

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
5.0

"Thus, a camellia."

This book destroyed my heart. I'm grief striken & I'm unsure I'll ever recover...

The book is so insightful, full of references you want to write down, and have a look later... Renée is such an intelligent, intellectual in disguise, breath of fresh air! I also really enjoyed Paloma as I was an "adult child" myself with lots of family questions... Superb French writing!
