The Gourmet by Muriel Barbery

Last year, an unexpected hit was The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which was translated from French. Set in an apartment building in Paris, it involves the lives of the tenants.  It was hugely popular.   Well, good news for all you fans, the author’s new book, The Gourmet is just out.   It’s about the most famous food reviewer in the world, Pierre Arthens, who is dying, and on his death bed he is trying to remember the details of the most delicious foods he has eaten.  It is a lovely looking small Hardback and will make a great gift for people who liked the first book, and foodies, $27.95
