But maybe traveling in his boat with new found friends down the Seine will help him to come to terms with his life. However, he can’t heal himself and still suffers from the loss of his lover who left him 21 years ago. He sees books as medicine and recommends books to his customers according to what they need in their lives. Jean Perdu lives in Paris and has a bookshop on a boat. I read The Little Paris Bookshop and really enjoyed it. In 2018, she published Die Schönheit der Nacht (The Beauty of the Night) which is set to be released in the UK and US in 2020/21, and her novel Südlichter (Southern lights) came out in Germany in 2019 and is a spin-off of The Little Paris Bookshop.
The following novels have been translated into English: The Little Paris Bookshop was published under the German title Das Lavendelzimmer (The lavender room), The Little French Bistro is called Die Mondspielerin (The moon player) in German, and her novel The Book of Dreams ( Das Traumbuch – The dream book) was published in 2016 in Germany and in 2019 in the US.
