The Paris Bookshop for the Broken Hearted by Rebecca Raisin

 

I absolutely love reading a new Rebecca Raisin book. It’s as comforting as sinking into a warm bubble bath. The only trouble is that I find myself up half the night to read ‘just one more chapter’. It was also lovely that Rebecca slipped in a ‘cameo’ of Anais – the heroine from a previous book – it was like meeting an old friend.

 

Coco is half English and half French. She was living her best life in the UK - Joint head of a Publishing company with her boyfriend, wonderful daughter, and a lovely home. When it transpires that said boyfriend has been stealing royalties from the writers, he disappears leaving her to clear up the mess.  By the time she has made recompense to everyone, she is left with nothing, and has to relocate to Paris and move in with her parents – taking an extremely grumpy teenager - who is extremely unhappy about being separated from her friends! Unable to get a job in the publishing industry because of the adverse publicity, Coco find herself taking a job in a Bookshop to make ends meet – and not just any Bookshop – a very special bookshop which seems to be able to mend broken hearts – or perhaps that is just the owner!

 

If you haven’t tried any Rebecca Raisin books yet, I recommend all of them! This one is up there with the best of them – and you get the beauty and atmosphere of Paris too. Perfect.
