On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs a bookshop; or rather a 'literary apothecary', for this bookseller possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to cure, it seems, is himself. He has nursed a broken heart ever since the night, twenty-one years ago, when the love of his life fled Paris, leaving behind a handwritten letter that he has never dared read. His memories and his love have been gathering dust - until now. The arrival of an enigmatic new neighbour in his eccentric apartment building on Rue Montagnard inspires Jean to unlock his heart, unmoor the floating bookshop and set off for Provence, in search of the past and his beloved.

Un viaje fascinante. Una conmovedora fábula sobre el amor y la felicidad. Una segunda oportunidad esperando al final del camino.Jean Perdu es dueño de un negocio tan especial como extraordinario: La farmacia literaria, una libreria instalada en un barco en el Sena. En vez de dispensar medicamentos, receta libros como remedio a las aflicciones del alma de sus clientes.Monsieur Perdu sabe muy bien como aliviar el dolor ajeno, pero jamas ha sido capaz de ayudarse a si mismo. Han pasado mas de veinte años desde que termino su maravilloso idilio con una mujer casada, y todavia no ha logrado recomponer su corazon. Su gris existencia cambia el dia en que conoce a su nueva vecina, Catherine, que tambien ha sido abandonada. Ella es la unica persona que podria comprender su dolor, por eso decide confesarle un secreto que le atormenta: Manon le envio una ultima carta que nunca leyo por despecho. Catherine le insta a abrirla ahora...Jean nunca podria haber imaginado su contenido. Ahora debera tomar una decision: seguir anestesiado con una vida que ya conoce y con la que se siente comodo, aunque no sea especialmente feliz, o aventurarse a lo desconocido y redescubrir lo bueno que tiene la vida.La critica ha dicho...Una farmacia literaria con libros como medicinas es una idea original y sabia.
