The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery


In this enthralling international bestseller, two girls live inconspicuous lives in the center of an elegant Paris apartment building.  It is only when a stranger moves into their building—and sees through the girls’ disguises—that Paloma and Rene discover their kindred spirits.

Start: 7:00 pm

Corbin shares the bumpy road that led her to motherhood and her career as a writer. Deformed sperm, a miscarriage, and quitting her job to become an editor only to have that publication become bankrupt were a few hurdles that she crossed along the way. But Corbin not only survives, she thrives, and is able to share her story in a heartfelt and humorous way. 

Corbin Lewars’ work can be read in numerous publications, including Hip Mama, Mothering, and Midwifery Today. She was the editor of Verve and Mamaphiles #3, and is the founder of the zine Reality Mom, currently in its seventh year of publishing. She lives in Seattle with her two children.
