Am reading this wonderful book by Anna Gavalda.

Book title : Hunting and Gathering (Ensemble c'est tout in French)

I really love the character, Camille. She is this fantastic painter ( works as a office cleaner) who lives in Paris and does best in making herself invisible. She have aneroxic problem but with a big warm heart. Along with her new flatmates where one of them rescued her from her old habitant ( a 7th floor tiny attic.. completely miserable). So the story is about a near-anorexic artist, a chef, his granny, and a sad-sack aristocrat - who together become something more than the sum of their parts and make for a perfect novel. Each character is distinctively portrayed, full of wry humour and razor-sharp observation.

This book is so lovely written.

It's a novel that one will not want to put down.
