Produktbeschreibung
Described as "Parisian perfection" by Queen Camilla, you won't want to miss this charming, quirky love story from one of the UK's favourite French authors! In this bestselling novel, a bookseller pursues a mystery woman--known only through the jottings in her red notebook--through the streets of Paris Bookseller Laurent Letellier comes across an abandoned handbag on a Parisian street, and feels compelled to return it to its owner. Quickly ruling out the police station, which is always best avoided, he turns the contents out onto his kitchen table to see if they hold a clue. The bag contains no money, phone or contact information. But it does yield a small red notebook, full of handwritten thoughts and jottings that reveal someone Laurent would very much like to meet. From the lists of likes and dislikes, things noticed and things felt, emerges the portrait of a woman who might just be his soulmate. But without even a name to go on, and only a few of her possessions to help him, how is he to find one woman in a city of millions? He'll have to turn to his daughter, who helps him decode the possessions and sends him on a madcap journey around the French capital. Meanwhile, in an anonymous hospital room, fragmentary thoughts float through the mind of a woman in a coma. She thinks she's called Laure, and she has some strong opinions and painful memories - but will she ever wake up and get a fresh chance at life? Soaked in Parisian atmosphere, this lovely, clever, funny novel is the perfect French holiday read!
