Biographical note
Born in 1970, Anna Gavalda was a teacher whose collection of stories, I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere, shot her to fame (published in the UK with her novella Someone I Loved). Her novel Hunting and Gathering (Ensemble c'est tout) was a bestseller in several countries, selling over two million copies, and was made into a film; this was followed by Consolation. Her books have been translated into thirty-six languages. The mother of two children, she lives and writes just outside Paris.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
