Why read it?
1 author picked Hunting and Gathering as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While not entirely about romantic love, Hunting and Gathering was such a huge success when it came out in France, it was hard not to include it on my list.
Set in modern-day Paris, and spanning a year, the story follows four people each struggling with their own demons, who end up sharing a roof, and who, despite their differences, learn to lean on each other. This is a truly refreshing story about love, how vast, unexpected, and healing it can be. A feel-good read!
From Astrid's list on capturing France's most epic love stories.
