THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP

READ BY STEVE WEST, EMMA BERING,
 AND CASSANDRA CAMPBELL
  BY NINA GEORGE

ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
“There are books that are suitable for a million people, others for only a hundred. There are even remedies—I mean books—that were written for one person only…A book is both medic and medicine at once. It makes a diagnosis as well as offering therapy. Putting the right novels to the appropriate ailments: that’s how I sell books.”

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.

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.

Internationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure, The Little Paris Bookshop is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people’s lives.

Includes a PDF of Recipes and Jean Perdu’s Emergency Literary Pharmacy.

PRAISE FOR THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP:
“Warmhearted…A charming novel that believes in the healing properties of fiction, romance, and a summer in the south of France.”—Kirkus

“The Little Paris Bookshop is an enchantment. Set in a floating barge along the Seine, this love letter to books – and to the complicated, sometimes broken people who are healed by them – is the next best thing to booking a trip to France.”—Sarah Pekkanen, author of Catching Air

“Simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming, Nina George’s impressionistic prose takes the reader on a journey not just through the glories of France and the wonders of books, but through the encyclopedic panoply of human emotions. The Little Paris Bookshop is a book whose palette, textures, and aromas will draw you in and cradle you in the redemptive power of love.”—Charlie Lovett, author of The Bookman’s Tale

“Nina George tells us clever things about love, about reading that ‘puts a bounce in your step,’ about tango in Provence, and about truly good food. . . . One of those books that gets you thinking about whom you need to give it to as a gift even while you’re still reading it, because it makes you happy and should be part of any well-stocked apothecary.” —Hamburger Morgenpost (Germany)

“Enchanting and moving … Rarely have I read such a beautiful book!”—Tina magazine (Germany)

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS:
Thanks to Richard and the good folks at Penguin/Random House Audio I am currently enjoying THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP. As a book addict, the title caught my eye and when I read a synopsis, knew it would be a good book for me. So far I have found it charming and just the escape I need with all that is going on in my life. The characters are just delightful and I can't imagine I will change my mind when I do finish this one. I hope you will give it a try and I would love to hear your thoughts.
