Summary
Marianne Messman longs to escape her loveless marriage to an uncaring husband - an artillery sergeant major named Lothar. On a day trip to Paris, Marianne decides to leap off the Pont Neuf into the Seine, but she is saved from drowning by a homeless man.
While recovering in hospital, Marianne comes across a painting of the tiny port town of Kerdruc in Brittany and decides to try her luck on the coast. In Kerdruc, Marianne meets a host of colourful characters who all gravitate around the restaurant of Ar Mor (The Sea).
It is this cast of true Bretons who become Marianne's new family and among whom she will find love once again. But with her husband looking to pull her back to her old life, Marianne is left with a choice: to step back into the known or to take a huge jump into an exciting and unpredictable future.

Not my usual genre, found it slow & predictable.
I listened all the way through hoping the story and charactets might be expanded upon. I'm afraid for me I wanted a little more than just a few lines in an epilogue. It is a sweet tale though, just not for me.

An adventure story with some magic added
After having read the little Paris bookshop and being really captivated by this author, I decided to read the second book in the series. I really enjoy the combination of adventure, heartwarming story line and a little bit of magic thrown in for good measure. This is a really good holiday read, it is not challenging and makes you feel warm and cuddly at the end

beautiful
This is a truly wonderful story. It 100% deserved the award it receive. A great suprise as very rarely I enjoy a book that has received award, so this was a rare gem.
I loved seeing our fmc going from utter despair to rediscovering herself and embracing new experiences. Marianne is a more mature German housewife, married to a selfish brute. She's so unhappy that she decides to unlive herself. She is rescued and, in a moment of clarity she decides to go to a beautiful place to have a go at attempt number 2. When she gets to a beautiful village, and as she slowly have new experiences and get to know a set of new friends, her sense of self-worth greatly improves until she is ready to embrace life with passion.
The narration was excellent and the story utterly beautiful.

Bad!
Bad. Sorry, but had to get rid half way! It has a very melancholy tone to it and I really could get further then first few chapters.
