“A charming restaurant
\nA book and its mysterious author
\nA little secret
\nA romantic meeting Paris and all its magic . . . <\/i><\/div>\n
\n

Cyrano de Bergerac<\/i> meets Chocolat<\/i> and Am\u00e9lie<\/i> in this intelligent, charming, and entertaining publishing sensation from Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While in the midst of a breakup-induced depression, Aur\u00e9lie Bredin, a beautiful Parisian restaurateur, discovers an astonishing novel in a quaint bookshop on the Ile Saint-Louis. Inexplicably, her restaurant and Aur\u00e9lie herself are featured in its pages. After reading the whole book in one night, she realizes it has saved her life\u2014and she wishes more than anything to meet its author. Aur\u00e9lie\u2019s attempts to contact the attractive but shy English author through his French publishers are blocked by the company\u2019s gruff chief editor, Andr\u00e9, who only with great reluctance forwards\u00a0Aur\u00e9lie\u2019s enthusiastic letter. But Aur\u00e9lie refuses to give up. One day, a\u00a0response from the reclusive author actually lands in her mailbox, but\u00a0the encounter that eventually takes place is completely different from what she had ever imagined.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jen’s thoughts: Exquisite fluff, a sweet, gentle read and a perfect RomCom in the making.\u00a0 If only Nora Ephron were here to make it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
