The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina GeorgeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Enthralling - one of my all time best books. On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu (John Lost - perfect) runs a bookshop or as he calls it “a literary apothecary”, because the owner knows how to use books like medicine. The only person he is unable to cure - of heartache - is himself. This wonderful tale shows the power of friendship and love. Enchanting prose, evocative phrasing that had me reading and re-reading phrases, sometimes with tears pricking my eyes and a lump in my throat as Jean Perdu sets off for Provence on his little floating bookshop in search of a long lost love....
You love books, you will love this wise, book-loving gentle man as he takes a meandering journey of love and loss.
I couldn’t put this book down, couldn’t wait to finish it and yet - did not want it to end....
