In this #1 international bestseller, a young woman leaves
everything behind to work as a librarian in a remote French
village, where she finds her outlook on life and love challenged in
every way.
Prudencia Prim is a young woman of intelligence and achievement,
with a deep knowledge of literature and several letters after her
name. But when she accepts the post of private librarian in the
village of San Ireneo de Arnois, she is unprepared for what she
encounters there. Her employer, a book-loving intellectual, is
dashing yet contrarian, always ready with a critique of her
cherished Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. The neighbors, too,
are capable of charm and eccentricity in equal measure, determined
as they are to preserve their singular little community from the
modern world outside.
Prudencia hoped for friendship in San Ireneo but she didn't suspect
that she might find love--nor that the course of her new life would
run quite so rocky or would offer challenge and heartache as well
as joy, discovery, and fireside debate. Set against a backdrop of
steaming cups of tea, freshly baked cakes, and lovely company, The
Awakening of Miss Prim is a distinctive and delightfully
entertaining tale of literature, philosophy, and the search for
happiness.
