In this novel from Nina George we return to Jean Perdu's beautiful barge on the Seine, his Literary Apothercary. He's spent many years still prescribing just the right book for his customers in the exact time they need it. His beloved books are his medicine: books that will comfort, guide, envelop and the perfect book to the customer that he know will guide them. But now, dear reader, he's sharing his favourite novel with you. As his floating bookshop arrives in the soft lights of Provence, Perdu shares the book that has healed him, brought him happiness, anchored him and shown him his way in life.

Nothing says love like a book . . .
In a little town in the south of France, a young orphan, Marie-Jeanne, discovers the extraordinary power of books to change lives.
But as she looks around her, she sees so many unhappy and lonely people - and resolves to help them.
Because a love of books is a love of life itself.
Together with her foster father, Marie-Jeanne sets up a mobile library to travel to the many nearby mountain villages. Their books offer entertainment, guidance, comfort - and help bring lonely hearts together.
And what about Marie-Jeanne? Books have taught her all about life - but can they bring her closer to her own true love?
