The First in Gamme Magie’s “Read Love” series, which derived from the idea to select fine-reading books with book-loving or book-related theme specially for book lovers. The book is a memoir of a Canadian crime reporter who fled to France after a threat from a gang source. He ended up in Paris broke and almost homeless. By chance, he discovered the wondrous Shakespeare and Company on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris and was invited to live among the creaking shelves of this infamous bookstore in which George Whitman, the owner, welcomed down and out writers from over the world to live and dream in return for work. The author found a life of camaraderie with other residents and befriended with the quixotic 86-year-old owner who holds the keys to it all. And adventure, mystery and, ultimately, redemption followed.
