The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George

A good book can solve a lot of problems. At least that has always been the philosophy of Jean Perdu and his "literary apothecary" floating book barge on the Seine River in Paris. While he finds the perfect book to cure all life's ills for others, he is unable to help himself get over the one true love of his life that got away. When Catherine moves into his apartment building and forces him to read a letter revealing all, Jean is cast adrift in a sea of emotion and regret. He un-tethers his barge and with the help of two unlikely seamates, begins to float away from Paris searching for answers. Selling books along the way to make ends meet, the three will find themselves while saving others. This is a book lovers book for only book lovers know the power of the written word to heal a heart. Jean must be unmoored to find the perfect harbor. The author's description of all the lovely river towns will make you want to join this merry band of misfits in their search. Perfect for lovers of "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry" and "The Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" - you will laugh, you will cry and you will cheer for the power of love and books.  This book will be out on June 23rd.
