Read the heartwarming new novel from the international million-copy bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

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?
