Here's one for lovers of "good novels". Two avid readers open a bookstore in Paris which only sells "good novels". Their inventory is selected by a secret committee of authors who never meet. There is an outcry against this undemocratic idea, which culminates in threats & violence against the committee. A bit of mystery & love story, and many, many recommendations of good novels. Structure could be tighter and needs editing in the second half of the book, but if you love reading novels, this will be fun! It has a bit of the flavor of Elegance of the Hedgehog, & both were translated by Alison Anderson.The Hundred Foot Journey: Indian ex-pats' restaurant and their son's journey to three Michelin stars. Not the best writing, but if you are a "foodie", this is it!
