From the author of the international bestseller THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP comes a return to Monsieur Perdu's beloved books

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, she is playing matchmaker.

When Marie-Jeanne's foster father, Francis, sets up a mobile library travelling the many mountain towns of the Nyons region, she 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 she can't seem to find a partner for is herself. Everyone must have a soulmate. Will Marie-Jeanne be able to recognise hers when Love finally comes her way?

Reviews for The Little French Village of Book Lovers

"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 * PRAISE FOR NINA GEORGE * - * Glowing...layered with wit, enchanting writing and a love of books...I prescribed it for a cynical friend who has ""seen it all"" (and read it all) and she swooned' * Daily Mail * A true gem for fiction lovers * Good Housekeeping * A charming tale...for fans of Like Water for Chocolate and Amelie * Red * An enchanting, uplifting read...the sort of book that acts as a soothing tonic as you read - so the perfect accompaniment to relaxing in the sun * Independent *"
