The Little Provence Bookshop

About the book...
Everyone’s story has some magic. You just have to turn the page to find it…

As the sun rises over the little Provence village where single mother Adeline has escaped with her little girl Lili, she breathes deeply. This is their new beginning. Here, she can forget the lies her family told her. Here, she can start her story again.

Later she opens the door to the town’s tiny bookstore, where she is to work, ready to meet the mysterious owner Monique for the first time.

She expected an ordinary bookshop. But this bookstore feels somehow different… magical. Breathing in the smell of books, she feels a jolt of something. It feels like a new chapter beginning.

As she gets to know the villagers – including the handsome Andre and friendly Michel – she starts to believe in the magic of this new start. But can a runaway like Adeline ever find what she’s looking for? Or is a happy-ever-after just another fiction?

A totally gorgeous, escapist, romantic novel – set in rural Provence – by the bestselling author of A Year at the French Farmhouse and The Bordeaux Bookclub.

I don't know about you, but I ADORE a book that's BOOKISH.  You know what I mean? A story where the power of the written word can be felt not just from the page but IN the page.  The characters understand the magic that resides within a story, and when you add a bookshop to that mix, you're knocking on the doors of heaven!  While beginning with heartache, it doesn't remain there.  The magic of the town, of the bookshop, of the characters throughout the town we've yet to meet as well as those that become more than just passing acquaintances, and even that of our leading ladies, permeates every page urging you to fall more and more in love as things progress.  Is her past truly laid to rest?  Not quite, but once faced with the newfound strength of the connections made, running is no longer the desired option, and her future looks that much brighter.

So be intrigued by the gorgeous cover (because let's face it, it IS gorgeous!), step between the pages to discover the little bookshop that's wielding more than dusty tomes on shelves, and fall in love with the people, the place, and the hearts of the little village that will do more than offer a safe haven, but a chance to heal.
