Little Paris Bookshop by Nina
George
I’m enjoying
the new trend of books set in the world of books! While I hope the publishing world doesn’t go
overboard on the trend, I do feel comfortable in that world. It’s a little like a combination of walking into
a newly discovered bookstore and just being around like minded people.
The Little Paris Bookshop is another one but this one is
special. This bookshop is a barge moored
on the river Seine in Paris. Jean Perdu
has a special talent for prescribing just the book someone needs and will talk
people out of books they may choose on their own. He calls his shop his apothecary. The books he sells prescriptions for what
ails you.
And we all
have ailments, even Jean Perdu. Twenty
years before, the love of his life left him.
There was a letter but he refused to read it because he knew what it
would say. “Sorry.” Only now and only
by happenstance, he opens this letter and what it tells him makes him pull up
the moorings on his barge, and together with a reclusive very young author
friend, Max, heads off through the canals and rivers of France to confront what
he learns in this farewell letter.
On his (and
our) journey through France Jean comes to life.
This book was
given to me for review from Blogging for Books
