The Little French Village of Book Lovers Summary

The Little French Village of Book Lovers: From the million-copy bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George

The heartwarming new novel from the international million-copy bestselling author of THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP

'Everyone knows me, but none can see me. I'm that thing you call love'

__________


In a small town in balmy Provence, Marie-Jeanne has a gift.

She can see the marks Love has left on the people around her. Glowing faces, hands that shimmer brighter when enclosed in another. Before long, Marie-Jeanne is playing matchmaker.

When her foster father, Francis, sets up a mobile library travelling the many mountain towns of the Nyons region, Marie-Jeanne takes her quest further. Their library offers entertainment, guidance, reassurance and comfort - but for Marie-Jeanne, the books also allow her to bring soulmates together.

The only person that Marie-Jeanne can't seem to find a partner for is herself. She has no glow of her own, though she waits and waits for it to appear.

Everyone must have a soulmate, surely - but will Marie-Jeanne be able to recognise hers when Love finally comes her way?
__________

From the author of the million-copy bestseller The Little Paris Bookshop comes a tender story about how a love of books is a love of life itself.

The Little French Village of Book Lovers Reviews

Brimming with magic . . . Full of allegory and mysticism, the book often feels more like a poem than a novel. Nuanced and enchanting . . . an elegantly crafted, unhurried examination of the enthralling and elusive nature of love * Kirkus Reviews *
An appealing companion piece to The Little Paris Bookshop. George convincingly portrays her characters' emotions . . . Charming * Publishers Weekly *
This spin-off of George's beloved The Little Paris Bookshop-this is the book within that one-is narrated by omniscient and powerful representations of abstract concepts, with Love, Pride, and Fate all weighing in, and this creative framing adds to its considerable charm. George pays particular attention to the romantic potential of the everyday-those mundane events that can spark new feelings in anyone hoping for a chance at love. Fans will adore George's latest exploration of life, love, and destiny * Booklist *
