There are even remedies--I mean books--that were written for one person only...A book is both medic and medicine at once. It makes a diagnosis as well as offering therapy. Putting the right novels to the appropriate ailments: that's how I sell books.' Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive 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. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he 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 travels along the country's rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20221110. 650 $a Booksellers and bookselling $v Fiction. 650 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. 650 $a Mental healing $v Fiction. 651 $a Paris (France) $v Fiction. 700 $a Pare, Simon,. 730 $a Lavendelzimmer $l English. 941 $a 1 952 $l WPPB215 $d 20221224010817.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F0BC3E4835811EDA23494D33AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
