The Elegance of the Hedgehog was published in 2009, having been translated from its original French. I came across it in Waterstones where it was part of their 3 for 2 offer, the cover boasted that it had sold 2.5 million copies, been serialised on Radio 4 and received multiple favourable reviews and so I decided to give it a try.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery tells the story of Renee, a concierge in a fancy Parisian apartment block, and Paloma, a 12 year old girl who lives in that apartment block. On the surface, Renee appears to be a typical concierge, who is simple, uncultured and eats bland and funny smelling food. However, she is very ... Read the complete review
