![]() ![]() I’ve rated this book 4 boat rides out of 5 because I know I will come back to read it again in a few years, to get that whiff of freshness. □□♀️ My only disappointment with this book was that not enough space was devoted to these characters which meant that they were just another maniacal, pixie like, dreamy persons who gently guided Jean into finding himself. As he sets off on an impromptu journey, he discovers people who are a mixed bunch – an author with a writer’s block, an Italian chef cum handyman with a fantastic story to share and some more such characters, you get the drift. He aims to sell only the right books to broken souls but his own heart also needs mending of its own. Plot – Monseiur Jean Perdu goes about his routine life and operates a floating bookstore, aptly named Literary Apothecary. ![]() Also, being a book about bookstore, my #tbr pile has now grown even further. ![]() It takes you on the journey to mend your □. When you’re bogged down by real world drama and everyday trifles, this book feels like a breath of fresh air. ![]() The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George My rating: □□□□/5 This book is a delightful read. ![]()
