"'Books were my friends,' said Catherine, and cooled her cheek, which was red from the heat of cooking, on her wineglass. 'I think I learned all my feelings from books. In them I loved and laughed and found out more than in my whole nonreading life.'"
In The Little Paris Bookshop, Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. He prescribes books to help people solve any problem in life. Unfortunately, he can't seem to heal himself. Still reeling from losing his one true love, Perdu can't even bring himself to open the letter she left for him. After deciding to read the letter, he sets off on an adventure to the South of France, hoping to finally put an end to his suffering and find peace. He's joined by a blocked author and a chef and their journey results in some of the most quote-worthy passages for any book-lover.
