3 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
For fans of Nina George, Elena Ferrante, and Valentina Cebeni, a charming, uplifting novel about a man who sets out to fulfil his dead wifes last wish. Julien Azouly, the famous French writer of beautiful romance novels, has stopped believing in love. When his beloved wife, Hlne, dies at the age of thirty-three, leaving him alone to raise their young son, Arthur, he is so devastated that he loses faith in the happier side of lifeand along with that his ability to write. But Hlne was clever. Before her death, she made her husband promise to write her thirty-three letters, one for each year of her life. Six months after the funeral, Julien finds himself standing in the most famous cemetery in Paris, the painful first letter in his hand. Little does he know that something strangeand wonderfulis about to happen. An ode to love, Paris, and joie de vivre, Love Letters from Montmartre brings the reader down narrow streets, past the cozy red bistro on Rue Gabrielle, and all the way to Montmartre cemetery with its beautiful stone angels, where we will discover the truth we all hope to find: that love is real, that miracles can happen and thatmost of allits never too late to rediscover your dreams. Empathetic and wise, this is the deeply profound yet very human story of a man who finds love just when he thinks all is lost.

Before her death, Hélène made her husband promise her to write 33 letter; each one for each year she lived. This is the story of Julien, about his grief, his struggles to continue with his life, about how he moved on, with love. If you liked P.S. I Love You, you maybe like this one. Loved how author described this place and his continue references about art, literature and even songs. Based on something author saw in a remote cemetery. 3.75/.3,8⭐️

Gissy I read this book for #Historathon (Youtube) the prompt was to read HF in a place you visited. Well this is not a HF per se but I visited Montmartre and the author made references to the past continuously and the place is full of history so I thought🧐it complies with the prompt😜I‘m flexible in this readathon. I finished it yesterday but I had problems with internet to post the review.

Gissy I wrote your Litsy name incorrectly 😲@TheAromaOfBooks I saw your post that you mention what you are reading and past books. Do you transfer the books not read in your bingo card for that month to the next month bingo card? If that is the case, sounds good to track books not read. 3y

TheAromaofBooks Most of the time I do end up rolling over my unread books onto my new bingo card, although sometimes if I've gone the whole month without touching that book, it just means I don't actually want to read it & it's time to let it go! 😂 3y
Gissy @TheAromaOfBooks It sounds like a good plan to decrease the tbr. I will try that, not necessarily with all the books left left behind in that month because I‘m a season-mood reader, but some of them. 3y
Andrew65 Love the look of this book. Well done 👏👏👏 3y

I personally picked this book up as a whim, and I am absolutely ecstatic that I did. This was just such a lovely story about a man learning how to move on after the death of his wife who he adored and raise their very young son.

violabrain I used to live right next to Sacre Coeur and I would often go walk in the Montmartre cemetery because it is so beautiful and peaceful there. I think I would love this book! 4y
