"Through this life-affirming story of a man and his hedgehog, we learn that no love is too great and no creature is too small." Well, that blurb is a nice sum-up. It was enough to make me pick up this book (that and the super cute photo on the cover).
This book is about an Italian veterinarian, Massimo, who specializes in large animals and is feeling heartbroken and depressed --- until the day a colleague gives him a recently orphaned baby hedgehog. He doesn't know anything about them, but makes contact with someone who does and from there, finds himself immersed in taking care of this little hedgehog. And, in the process, Massimo discovers his own happiness.
I enjoyed this book, although (perhaps due to the fact that it was translated), the pace is sometimes a bit choppy. It was interesting to learn about hedgehogs and also go through Massimo's journey with him.
