Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can't seem to heal through literature is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened.

Years ago Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up - and she hasn't looked back. What would she have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious...and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers - all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework - and her father.

Didn't like the story. The narrator's accents were difficult to understand and confusing with the characters. Totally lacked the charm of Bookshop novel. I'm returning this one.

Annoying, unreal plot turns
George writes pretty well about a woman awakening but doesn’t let the powerful experiences stick w/ this character. Mariannea’s character falls into a hole over & over. That invalidates the strength she’s already shone. Annoying and tedious. This is the last of her books I’ll listen to.

A meanduring plot but overall a nice story
The reader was quite good and brought all the characters to life. The weaving of Druids & fantasy and white witchcraft with in the plot made it less enjoyable for me, but I think others might find that part compelling.
