Elegance of the Hedgehog Ian Moore no sooner has she arrived

no sooner has she arrived when a series of petty thefts - and perhaps even an attempted murder

but soon realize they may not be quick enough to outmaneuver their wives

read Hairy Potty and the Underwear of Justice

they'll each have to learn to overcome their fears and set their aside assumptions before Margot leaves--or risk becoming a Happily Never After story themselves

which helpfully has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large

Elegance of the Hedgehog Ian Moore no sooner has she arrivedA moving, funny, triumphant novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous. In an elegant apartment building in the heart of Paris, Rene, the concierge, scrutinizes the vacuous lives of its well to do tenants. Outwardly she conforms to every stereotype of the concierge: plump, cantankerous, addicted to television. Yet, unbeknownst to her employers, Rene is a sophisticated autodidact who adores art, philosophy, music, and Japanese culture.
