![]() ![]() What made the experience of listening to The Little Paris Bookshop the most enjoyable? Who can't love Paris, a bookstore, and canal barge #Paris#VividImagary#FantasticTranslation#ABookWrittenToBeReadAloud#tagsgivinc And I definitely will look out for other books translated by Simon Pare. I will not hesitate to read another novel by Nina George. The translation is sensitive and very well done. The thing is, if I realised before my purchase that this book had been translated, I most possibly would not have bought it. And I plan to buy in in paper too so that I can keep it with my other prised books. I first listened to the audio version of the book and loved it so much that I also bought the Kindle version. It is about reawakening and ultimately it is a joyous celebration of the frailty of the heart. It is a tale of the loss of love and the loss of self. Almost every sentence is a sensory delight, laden with insights and truths about the human condition and the beauty of the landscape. ![]() If you ever loved deeply and lost that love, if you struggled to love again, this is the book prescription for you. It resonated so deeply with me, that I am tempted to call it my ‘Southern Lights’. I feel that, had I walked into the Literary Apothecary, this is the novel Monsieur Perdu would have prescribed for me. ![]()

Why did this novel fall a bit short for me? Well first of all, it was oddly predictable for such a unique story.
