I suddenly remembered this wonderful little mystery and love story (not mushy!) while looking through my bookshelves. It’s a quick read but uplifting, and beautifully written. Laurent is a middle-aged bookseller in Paris who finds an abandoned handbag on the street one morning on his way to get coffee. There is nothing inside to say who it belongs to but a red notebook and some photographs. He becomes fascinated by this mysterious woman and so begins the search. His girlfriend is not surprisingly hurt, while his teenage daughter positively encourages him. If you are looking for something light and entertaining this is it!
