'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
