Rosalie Laurent is the proud owner of Luna Luna, a little postcard shop in Saint-Germain, and if it were up to her, far more people would write cards. Her specialty is producing “wishing cards,” but where her own wishes are concerned, the quirky graphic artist is far from lucky. Every birthday Rosalie sends a card inscribed with her heart’s desire fluttering down from the Eiffel Tower—but none of her wishes has ever been fulfilled. Then one day when an elderly gentleman trips in her shop and knocks over a postcard stand, it seems that her wish cards are working after all. Rosalie finds out that it is Max Marchais, famed and successful author of children’s books who’s fallen into her life. When he asks her to illustrate his new (and probably last) book, Rosalie is only too glad to accept, and the two—very different—maverick artists become friends. Rosalie’s wishes seem to be coming true at last until a clumsy American professor stumbles into her store with accusations of plagiarism. Rosalie is hard-pressed to know whether love or trouble is blowing through her door these days, but when in doubt, she knows that Paris is always a good idea when one is looking for the truth and finding love.

Fall in love with a delicious novel about Paris, cinema and romance.

"Alain Bonnard, the owner of a small art cinema in Paris, is a dyed-in-the-wool nostalgic ... He wants to show films that create dreams, and he likes most of the people that come to his cinema. Particularly the enchanting, shy woman in the red coat who turns up every Wednesday in row 17 ... One evening, Alain plucks up courage and invites the unknown beauty to dinner. The most tender of love stories is just getting under way when something incredible happens: The Cinéma Paradis is going to be the location of Allan Woods' new film"--

"Everyone loves him. His novels are enchanting. Reading Barreau is like having me-time with your best friend."--Nina George, Germany, author of The Little Paris Bookshop

Amikor felesége, Hélène alig harminchárom évesen meghal, Julien Azoulay-t mélyen lesújtja a gyász. A romantikus vígjátékok szerzője és egy kisfiú, Arthur édesapja úgy érzi, kegyetlenül elbánt vele a sors. Kelletlenül teljesíti a Montmartre-i temetőben nyugvó felesége utolsó kívánságát: írjon neki 33 levelet. A kézzel írt leveleket sorra elhelyezi Hélene sírkövének titkos rekeszében, egy nap azonban mindegyik eltűnik, s a helyükön Julien különös dolgokat talál: egy kőszívet, egy Prévert-verset, két mozijegyet az Orfeusz című filmre. Mit jelentsen mindez? Julien a rejtély nyomába ered… Nicolas Barreau (1980) Párizsban született, a Sorbonne-on tanult romanisztikát és történelmet. Párizsban, a fény városában játszódó, könnyed, romantikus regényeivel világszerte lelkes olvasók tömegeit hódította meg. A Montmartre-i szerelmes levelekkel már hat könyve olvasható magyarul.
