Here is my suggestion for a great read: Anna Gavalda's book "Hunting and Gathering" - translated from the original in french: "Ensemble c'est tout" (some of you are proficient in french!). It is a really cool and moving story set in Paris. The main characters (an eclectic foursome, including a chef, an aristocrat, a young artist and a senile grandmother!) end up living in a sort of coop together. Throughout, we get to know the characters as they reveal more about their talents and personalities. A fun and engaging read, it deals profoundly with the themes of family, loneliness, dealing with loss and struggles, showing your emotions and growing unlikely friendships.
