The Little Paris Bookshop

Nina George

Parisian bookseller Jean Perdu runs a floating 'literary apothecary' on a barge on the Seine, using an uncanny gift for matching readers to the exact book they need to heal their emotional wounds. After finally reading a decades-old unopened letter from the great love who vanished from his life, he unmoors his barge and sails south through France's waterways, picking up an unlikely crew along the way. The journey becomes a reckoning with his own long-buried grief as he slowly reopens himself to friendship, food, and the possibility of new love.
