I have so enjoyed "The Little Paris Bookshop" by Nina George. She has a gift for making one care for the characters, and she portrays them warts and all. It is a sweet book about a man who loved someone deeply. Although she loved him, too, she left him, and he spent 20 years missing her and wondering why she left. After finally opening the letter she had written 20 years earlier, he sails away to put closure to his unrequited love. He finds healing along the way with a couple of unlikely traveling partners and the people he meets. I have not finished the book. I am savoring the pages and taking my time, as I don't want it to end.
