The Little Paris Bookshop

This is a sweet story, The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George, which I enjoyed.  Jean Perdu runs a bookshop on a barge moored in Paris.  He still loves Manon who left him 20 years before, leaving him a letter which he's never read.  When he does read it, he changes his life, taking his barge on a "road trip" along the rivers heading south with a young author and two cats, picking up people along the way.  It is a love story, more than one love story.  Jean loves his books and prescribes books for his customers which will make them feel better whatever their circumstances - such is the power of books.  A delightful read. 31/2/5
