‘He was about to commit a forbidden act. A transgression. For no man should rummage through a woman’s handbag.’

Bookseller Laurent Letellier comes across an abandoned handbag on a Parisian street, and feels impelled to return it to its owner. The bag contains no money, phone or contact information. But a small red notebook with handwritten thoughts and jottings reveals a person that Laurent would very much like to meet.

Without even a name to go on, and only a few of her possessions to help him, how is he to find one woman in a city of millions?

Reviews for The Red Notebook

'A hymn to la vie Parisienne...enjoy it for its fabulistic narrative, and the way it teeters pleasantly on the edge of Gallic whimsy.' The Guardian 'As entertaining as it is original, this is a story to enjoy like a chocolate with a surprise centre.' Marie France 'Its gentle satirical humor reminded me of Jacques Tati's classic films' Library Journal
