But can he fix his own?</b><br> <b> </b><br> Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can't seem to heal through literature is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. <p/> After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu travels along the country's rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself. <p/> Internationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure, <i>The Little Paris Bookshop</i> is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people's lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>New York Times</i> Bestseller<br>A LibraryReads Favorite of the Favorites <br>An Indie Bestseller of 2015</b> <p/>If you're looking to be charmed right out of your own life for a few hours, sit down with this wise and winsome novel...Everything happens just as you want it to... from poignant moments to crystalline insights in exactly the right measure.--<b>Oprah.com</b> <p/>"The settings are ideal for a summer-romance read...Who can resist floating on a barge through France surrounded by books, wine, love, and great conversation?"<b>--<i>Christian Science Monitor</i></b> <p/>"[A] bona fide international hit."--<i><b>New York Times Book Review</b></i> <p/>A story that reflects all the romance and sweetness of Paris itself." <b>--<i>San Francisco Book Review</i></b> <p/>George's exquisite, multilayered love story enchanted Europe for more than a year, and the U.S. publication of this flawless translation will allow gob-smacked book lovers here to struggle with the age-old dilemma: to race through each page to see what happens next or savor each deliciously enticing phrase.
