The Elegance of the Hedgehog


That, dear reader, is the new book selection for our book club. Our book club, whose main focus is wine and food and talk of the actual book is minimal. But, I have been exposed to books I would never have chosen. That is a good thing.

The book begins with a young girl who is contemplating suicide on her 13th birthday. Yikes! It is a translation from the original French and is really rich in language.

So, once again, I am reading a book about death, something I have so avoided since the diagnosis. Not an easy read for me.

I am really not enjoying it. I am going to finish it with hopes that it grows on me.
