The arrival of a letter delayed by 33 years sparks off a quest that leads both on a nostalgic journey back to the 1980s and right to the heart of France today.

Middle-aged doctor Alain Massoulier has received a life-changing letter thirty-three years too late. Lost in the Paris postal system for decades, the letter from Polydor, dated 1983, offers a recording contract to The Holograms, in which Alain played lead guitar.

Overcome by nostalgia, Alain is tempted to track down the members of the group. But in a world where everything and everyone has changed... where could his quest possibly take him?

Reviews for French Rhapsody

'An endearing love story written in beautifully poetic prose. It is an enthralling mystery about chasing the unknown, the nostalgia for what could have been, and most importantly, the persistence of curiosity.' San Francisco Book Review 'This is the perfect little novel with two of the best ingredients: Paris and a bookstore' San Francisco Chronicle 'Flawlessly written, it does everything just right and, at the end, leaves a smile of satisfaction. This tender and charming romance, written with characteristic Gallic flair, is part mystery and part love story.' Foreword Reviews 'This is a warm whimsical romantic cozy in which the location and the support cast bring plausibility to Laurent's quest that will remind the audience of the movie Serendipity.' Midwest Bookreview 'This book is pure pleasure. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.' Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfields, Sebastapol, California 'I loved this book.' Conrad Silverberg, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 'I loved it! As soon as I finished I wanted to discuss it with someone.' Barb Schmidt, Books & Co, Dayton, Ohio 'Don't miss this charming French confection of a novel... with a wit somewhere between Bennett's in The Uncommon Reader and Barbery's in Elegance of the Hedgehog ... thoroughly entertaining. I loved it.' Betsy Burton, The King's English Bookshop, Salt Lake City, Utah
