Start: 1:00 pm
The Bookcase Book Club will meet on Tuesday, March 9 at 1:00 and 7:00 p.m. to discuss Muriel Barbery's novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog.Renee Michel is the dumpy, nondescript, 54-year-old concierge of a small and exclusive Paris apartment building. Paloma Josse also lives in the building. Acutely intelligent, introspective and philosophical, this 12-year-old views the world as absurd and records her observations about it in her journal. These two characters provide the double narrative of The Elegance of the Hedgehog, and you will fall in love with both. Tender and satirical in its overall tone, yet most absorbing because of its reflections on the nature of beauty and art, the meaning of life and death, the intelligent Muriel Barbery has served readers well by giving us the gently satirical, exceptionally winning and inevitably bittersweet Elegance of the Hedgehog. The Bookcase Book Club is led by Addie Ingebrand.
