About The Elegance of the Hedgehog
The Elegance of the Hedgehog was first published in 2006 and is Muriel Barbery's second novel. It focuses on two contrasting characters: the unassuming concierge Renée Michel, whose cultivation and dazzling intelligence remain hidden from the affluent residents of her building, and the 12-year-old Paloma Josse, a precociously intelligent but somewhat misanthropic girl who lives in the building with her family. The lives of both characters are changed for good when Kakuro Ozu, a mysterious Japanese man, moves into an apartment on the 4th floor.
