<br/><br/> In Nina George's New York Times bestseller The Little Paris Bookshop, literary apothecary Jean Perdu was inspired to create a floating bookstore after reading a pseudonymous novel about a young woman with a remarkable gift. The Little Village of Book lovers is that Novel. 'Everyone knows me, but none can see me. I'm that thing you call love.' In a little town in the south of France in the 1960s, a dazzling encounter with Love itself changes the life of infant orphan Marie-Jeanne forever. As a girl, Marie-Jeanne realises that she can see the marks Love has left on the people around her - tiny glowing lights on the faces and hands that shimmer more brightly when the one meant for them is near. Before long, Marie-Jeanne is playing matchmaker, bringing true loves together in her village. As she grows up, Marie-Jeanne helps her foster father, Francis, begin a mobile library that travels throughout the many small mountain towns in the region of Nyons. She finds herself bringing soulmates together every place they go - and there are always books that play a pivotal role in that quest. However, the only person that Marie-Jeanne can't seem to find a soulmate for is herself. She has no glow of her own, though she waits and waits for it to appear. Everyone must have a soulmate, surely - but will Marie-Jeanne be able to recognise hers when Love finally comes her way?
