Read the heartwarming new novel from the international million-copy bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop
‘Exquisitely written, as always, she draws you in from the first page and immerses you in the lives of her delightful characters. You won’t want to put it down’ Patricia Scanlan

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?
