Critics Review
Enjoyable, well-paced and engaging
Enjoyable, well-paced and engaging – Lucille Houston * Times Literary Supplement *Like Amélie, Hunting and Gathering stops at nothing to make the reader feel good. Reading it reminded me of tucking into one of those beautifully constructed little cakes that you see in the windows of elegant French patisseries * Sunday Telegraph *A charming, romantic - and very French - novel – Rev’d Amber Pearson * Daily Mail *An elegant, ironic tale.. this will be a classic * Cosmopolitan *Gavalda’s ability to reinvent the will-they-won’t-they love story makes this a refreshing five-star read with real bite * Eve *
