The international bestseller, translated from the German by Simon
Pare. On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs
a bookshop; or rather a 'literary apothecary', for this bookseller
possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the
troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to
cure, it seems, is himself. He has nursed a broken heart ever since
the night, twenty-one years ago, when the love of his life fled
Paris, leaving behind a handwritten letter that he has never dared
read. His memories and his love have been gathering dust - until
now. The arrival of an enigmatic new neighbour in his eccentric
apartment building on Rue Montagnard inspires Jean to unlock his
heart, unmoor the floating bookshop and set off for Provence, in
search of the past and his beloved.
