The Little Bookshop on the Seine

by Rebecca Raisin

Overview

A Connecticut woman trades her smalltown bookshop for one in Paris in this charming contemporary romance for fans of The Holiday.

When bookshop owner Sarah Smith is offered the opportunity for a job exchange with her Parisian friend, Sophie, saying yes is a no-brainer—after all, what kind of romantic would turn down six months in Paris? Sarah is sure she’s in for the experience of a lifetime—days spent surrounded by literature in a gorgeous bookshop, and the chance to watch the snow fall on the Eiffel Tower. Plus, now she can meet up with her journalist boyfriend, Ridge, when his job takes him around the globe.

But her expectations cool faster than her café au lait soon after she lands in the City of Light—she’s a fish out of water in Paris. The customers are rude, her new coworkers suspicious, and her relationship with Ridge has been reduced to a long-distance game of phone tag, leaving Sarah to wonder if he’ll ever put her first over his busy career. As Christmas approaches, Sarah is determined to get the shop—and her life—back in order . . . and make her dreams of a Parisian happily ever after come true.

From the Publisher

Listeners will be transported to the world’s most romantic city when Sarah Smith temporarily swaps her small-town American bookshop for one in Paris. She expects a sweet and romantic adventure while strolling the cobblestone streets, but with a surly staff, plummeting sales, a thief in her midst, and an absent boyfriend—her six-month exchange is anything but a holiday. Narrator Sally Scott transitions between a diverse set of New England, English, and Parisian voices, but with some inconsistency in accents. Despite the light plot, the versatile Scott captures Sarah’s struggle and the complexity of each secondary character, rescuing the story with an engaging level of emotion and enthusiasm.
