A review by larebe
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

2.0

There were a few engaging moments in this book, namely the later scenes with Paloma and Renee, and Renee and Prof Ozu, but it’s mostly just pretentious. Also, this was written in 2006 but the r- word slur was used multiple times, and it contained very infantilizing and degrading language about someone with Down Syndrome.
