Muriel Barbery
Almost the whole novel is held inside one grand bourgeois apartment building on the Left Bank, at 7 rue de Grenelle. A concierge who hides her learning, a wealthy set of tenants, and a girl planning her own disappearance share its lodge, stairwell and flats, with a café and the surrounding streets of the 7th arrondissement just beyond the door.
