"Silk" by Alessandro Baricco

In about 79 full pages this international best seller is an historical novel about the silk trade in 19th C Japan and France, but is also an adventure novel and a love story and a fable and a prose poem. Some readers will feel fireworks and others (like me ) will feel but 1 or 2 wondrous "poofs". This is my "Ratatouille" book.
