Description
"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?" -- Christian Science Monitor r "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)
