From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, Monsieur Peru 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 is himself. His great love disappeared leaving only a letter that he has never opened. After Peru finally reads the letter, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the South of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Along the way, he dispenses his books and wisdom showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself.
