The Red Notebook
Description
<b>'The very quintessence of French romance' <i>The Times</i>
'A masterpiece of Parisian perfection' Queen Camilla</b>
Bookseller Laurent Letellier comes across an abandoned handbag on a Parisian street, and feels compelled to return it to its owner. The bag contains no money, phone or contact information. But it does hold a small red notebook, full of handwritten thoughts and jottings that reveal someone Laurent would very much like to meet.
Without even a name to go on, and only a few of her possessions to help him, how is he to find one woman in a city of millions?
<b>Translated by Jane Aitken and Emily Boyce.</b>
