I‘m ready for my Sept-Oct genres of books and should have released this from my Libby holds before it dropped. I just wasn‘t in the mood but kept with the audio because it was only 7 hours at normal speed. I couldn‘t decide if the point of the story was the books or if it was the touch-of-magic matchmaking. This one deserved better from me. …When you know it‘s you and not the book ;(

Garabrandtreviews Don't let this discourage you from her other books. I felt the same way here, but I loved her other books. 1y

This book is so special. A love letter to love, books, and the power that both have to change lives. So enjoyed that Love, Fate, and Death are important characters in the story. “She regarded books like the sea-she could swim through them . . . her plan was to look back at the end of her life over the long and exciting course she had swum through times and hearts and currents of knowledge and different worlds and emotions.” Releases Tuesday!

This was a bit different from my normal book leanings, but I really enjoyed it. It was unique as it personified/gave actual voice to emotions/traits/experiences (i.e. Love, Death, Charm, Lust, Fate, etc.).
With connections to The Little Paris Bookshop, this story takes place in a small village in the south of France (1960s) and is centered around a young girl named Marie-Jeanne who is marked by the touch of Love as a small infant. As she grows,🔻

robinb she realizes that she can see the shining marks that Love leaves behind on each person in her village and how those lights become brighter as they are nearer to those who are meant to be their soulmates. And even though tragically Marie-Jeanne cannot see her own light, she begins her journey as a matchmaker. Along the way, her foster father Francis begins a new job venture, operating the area's first mobile library. Traveling by car and 🔻 1y
robinb horseback through the small mountain towns of the Nyons region, Marie-Jeanne and Francis begin to see how books truly bring folks and their communities together. Some books can lead to love, others to character growth and still others to new ways of seeing life in general.
This book had qualities of a parable, a poem and even a touch of the best kind of rom coms. The writing flowed beautifully, often lyrically poetic in its passages, and the 🔻 1y
robinb words were simply a joy to take in. I embraced and rooted for all of the characters, but it was Marie-Jeanne who stole the show for me. Sweet but with backbone, fearless, humorous and dedicated, she is a force of nature and a force for all that is good.
I found reading this an enjoyably quaint and heartwarming experience and would recommend it to anyone searching for a lovely, feel-good story. 4.25/5⭐️ 1y

So I just started this ARC. I loved her other books and the premise seemed so cute! I am a little miffed at the narration, though. It slips from third person to first person watching things unfold. This narrator is Love and goes on tangents about her siblings Death, Lust.... You get the point. So far the back and forth is a bit sloppy but I am hopeful.
