From the author of the international bestselling THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP comes a return to Monsieur Perdu's beloved books

Monsieur Perdu returns in this new novel from the international bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop.
Returning to Jean Perdu's beautiful barge on the Seine, his Literary Apothercary, where he's spent many years prescribing just the right book to his customers we now come to discover the novel that has been most important to his own life.

As his floating bookshop arrives in the soft lights of Provence, Perdu shares the book that has healed him, brought him happiness, anchored him and shown him his way in life. It is comfort and safety in book form, a novel about love, the magic of balmy nights in the Mediterranean and the often unseen good in people.

Praise for The Little French Village of Book Lovers

PRAISE FOR NINA GEORGE

-

Glowing...layered with wit, enchanting writing and a love of books...I prescribed it for a cynical friend who has "seen it all" (and read it all) and she swooned'

Daily Mail

A true gem for fiction lovers

Good Housekeeping

A charming tale...for fans of Like Water for Chocolate and Amelie

Red

An enchanting, uplifting read...the sort of book that acts as a soothing tonic as you read - so the perfect accompaniment to relaxing in the sun

Independent

Brimming with magic . . . Full of allegory and mysticism, the book often feels more like a poem than a novel. Nuanced and enchanting . . . an elegantly crafted, unhurried examination of the enthralling and elusive nature of love

Kirkus Reviews

An appealing companion piece to The Little Paris Bookshop. George convincingly portrays her characters’ emotions . . . Charming

Publishers Weekly

This spin-off of George’s beloved The Little Paris Bookshop—this is the book within that one—is narrated by omniscient and powerful representations of abstract concepts, with Love, Pride, and Fate all weighing in, and this creative framing adds to its considerable charm. George pays particular attention to the romantic potential of the everyday—those mundane events that can spark new feelings in anyone hoping for a chance at love. Fans will adore George’s latest exploration of life, love, and destiny

Booklist

What a joy to read The Little French Village of Book Lovers, which will delight Nina George’s millions of readers. Exquisitely written, as always, she draws you in from the first page and immerses you in the lives of her delightful characters. You won’t want to put it down.
