Hedgehog chosen as one of the best reads of 2008

The Washington Post, following up on Michael Dirda's great early review back in September in which he described the novel as "gently satirical, exceptionally winning and inevitably bittersweet," has chosen The Elegance of the Hedgehog as one of the five best books of 2008. According to editors at the Post's Book World, Hedgehog comes in at #2. See the complete list >>

The Christian Science Monitor has also named Hedgehog one of 2008's best novels, comparing it to Elizabeth Taylor's Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont, "with its sense of renewal near the end of a life and a celebration of the beauty of small moments." See the complete list >>
