I really enjoyed the moments in the book where Jean would “prescribe” a book to a person and then give out the details as to why that book will be important for them at that point in life (in the back of the book there is a list of all the books mentioned and what ailments they remedy which I think is very clever). The whole arc of the novel is Jean learning to let go of the past and learn to love again and I loved that the things that help him get through are the love of his friends and his love of books. I think that this book is about three things: Grief, Love, and Books. ![]() SYNOPSIS: Twenty-one years after his lover left him, Jean Perdu is forced to read her final letter to him and embarks on a journey of self-healing along with an author who has writer’s block after a successful first novel, and an Italian chef looking for love in all the wrong places. ![]()
