Why read it?
1 author picked The Truffle Hunter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I adore the gorgeous depictions of the Dordogne region of France in this book—they are truly a feast for the eyes!
As for the story itself, I enjoy the subtle humor of the piggy characters’ personalities, particularly the main character, Martine’s ennui and the boorishness of her romantic interest, Raoul. This is a French fairytale for both animal fans and gastronomy lovers.
From Katelyn's list on children’s fiction books featuring plenty of French flavor.
