Author: Nina George
This book starts out feeling almost dreamlike and then the main character has an emotional crisis. Jean is still heartbroken over a failed relationship nearly 21 years prior to the start of the story. Every day he opens his bookstore, on a boat in one of the Paris canals, and treats his customers. Yes, treats. He sells books as if they are medicine. He recommends and sells books based on his customer/patients emotional needs. A true romantic notion of the written word. And for 21 years, he has been in love with a women who left him.
The story is that of how Jean fell in love, how he lives after she left, and Jean's voyage of discovery of why she abandoned him.
Truthfully, I've set this novel aside for the time being. I'm in need of something less real and more fantasy. I'll pick this story up again another day when I'm ready for Jean.
