Mo Galway asked this question about The Elegance of the Hedgehog:
I thoroughly enjoyed the Elegance of the Hedgehog, it was captivating from beginning to end. I had not read any of Muriel Barbery until now. By reading the Elegance of the Hedgehog first, have I spoiled the full enjoyment of Gourmet Rhapsody?
Ellen Not at all! In fact, they are stand-alone books. You'll actually understand more of the context, but it won't spoil the plot at all. Gourmet Rhapsody …moreNot at all! In fact, they are stand-alone books. You'll actually understand more of the context, but it won't spoil the plot at all. Gourmet Rhapsody (in French, Une gourmandise) is elegantly written, filled with bitterness, and genuinely fascinating. I hope this helps!(less)
