"Gourmet Rhapsody" by Muriel Barbery, Alison Anderson translation

This book is phenomenal. This is going to be one of the books I return to read again and again because it is such a pleasure to do so. The story is engaging in and of itself but it's the intricacy and elegance of the writing that is so enrapturing. Each sentence felt like diving into a sensory wonderland. I highly recommend this book not only to those interested in the food culture but anyone who's looking to relive the magic of a really good book.
