The Little Village of Book Lovers: A Novel

From the internationally bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop comes a tender, lyrical novel set in 1960s southern France. The Little Village of Book Lovers tells the story of Marie-Jeanne, an orphan who discovers she can see the glowing marks Love leaves on people — tiny lights that shimmer brighter when soulmates draw near. Gifted with this extraordinary ability, she becomes a matchmaker in her small mountain village, quietly bringing true loves together.

As she helps her foster father run a traveling bookmobile through the countryside, books and romance intertwine at every stop. Yet despite guiding others toward happiness, Marie-Jeanne longs for her own glow to appear. Gentle, whimsical, and deeply romantic, this enchanting novel explores destiny, longing, and the belief that everyone has a love written into their story.
