“The Elegance of the Hedgehog (French: L’élégance du hérisson) is a novel by the French novelist and professor of philosophy Muriel Barbery. The book follows events in the life of a concierge, Renée Michel, whose deliberately concealed intelligence is uncovered by an unstable but intellectually precocious girl named Paloma Josse. Paloma is the daughter of an upper-class family living in the upscale Parisian apartment building where Renée works”

I love the french philosophy and hate the storyline. like reading a facinating philosophy text made into a supercar thats driven 2 miles an hour
