Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary, floating a bookstore on a barge along the Seine. He believes each book diagnoses and cures a reader’s ailment, and he uses this skill to mend hearts and spirits. Yet the man who sells cures has never found healing for himself. His great love has vanished, leaving only a mystery letter that he has never opened. When he finally reads it, Perdu sets a course for the south of France, seeking peace and the story’s ending. Accompanied by a blocked bestselling author and a lovelorn Italian chef, he travels the country’s rivers, dispensing wisdom and books while illustrating how the literary world can guide the human soul on a personal journey to heal.
