French novelist and philosophy teacher Muriel Barbery presents The Elegance of the Hedgehog, a story revolving mainly around the residents of an upper-middle class Left Bank apartment building, and in particular, the widowed concierge Renée Michel who hides her true self to fit in, and twelve-year-old Paloma Josse who has come to find herself disenchanted with life . . .
Beautiful for its underlying truths that we are all worthy of love, and love will surely be given if we just believe that we are worthy, The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a moving, funny, triumphant novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us.
