From his floating bookstore on a barge in the Seine, Monsieur Perdu prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using hisintuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can’t seem to heal through literature is himself; he’s still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. After he reads the letter she left him, Perdu hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu dispenses wisdom and books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself.
