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.

"Don’t judge this book by the cover or title. It looks like a light, romantic read. It should have been called The Literary Apothecary. It is about a man who prescribes books based on what the person needs. It is beautifully written, and the people who are collected on the journey are such wonderful contributions to the story. It’s hard to describe how much I loved this book. Please read it. It’s in my top 10 of best books. "

"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!"
"I found that this book left me wanting. It could have developed into something amazing. I did enjoy it but wish the story had taken a different direction. "
