The Little Paris
Bookshop by Nina George
This story about a
man who’d built a bookshop on a barge in the Seine, but it’s also
about finding a book to meet each purchaser’s emotional needs, and
about the bookseller’s journey to meet his own. Lyrically written
about heartache and loss and the possibilities of new beginnings,
this book is filled with interesting characters and beautiful
scenery. Probably not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
Trust a Few:
Haruspex Trilogy part 1 by E. M. Swift-Hook
Every main character
in this story has an agenda and a viewpoint and they manipulate the
others to give twists and turns to the plot as we see the story play
out. Each of the characters has a complex backstory that contributes
to how they interact. I’ll admit I didn’t love all of them
equally, but they were interesting, flawed individuals. I’m looking
forward to reading more about them.
I think I'll give "The Little Paris Bookshop" a try. I'm trying to branch out from what I normally read. Thank you for the reviews.
