Monsieur Perdu can prescribe the perfect book for a broken heart. But can he fix his own? 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.

"I think you will love it, Grey. The book is full of insight to take away. Hard to explain, but I bet you’d get it if you read this. Perdu is a troubled, but talented, book seller who sees into the souls of other people. He heals them, but he can’t heal himself until he takes a journey on his canal boat/bookshop. The other people on this journey are a trip. Let me know what you think if you read it. "

"I found this book at the bottom of a bin that said "free" I was not expecting this book to be so good!! There were many times where I closed the book and hugged it. I don't think I could find a book like this again, I highly recommend if you are looking for an adventure, self love/ self discovery book!"
