The Little Village of Book Lovers by Nina George (Early Review)
The Little Village of Book Lovers is an extraordinary story. It’s the first book I’ve ever started rereading immediately, and I haven’t reread that many books overall because it feels like there are too many books out there waiting to be read. What I love most about this book is the unique perspective of Love. The entire book is Love telling the story, with some points-of-view of an ancient olive tree; both of which Marie-Jeanne has a special connection with. This is a book about love but it isn’t a romantic book. Between my first and second reads I had to say goodbye to my beloved cat and many phrases hit me differently. I found myself highlighting passages that I didn’t connect with the first time around that deeply moved me after a new life experience. I imagine this would be a perfect book to reread throughout one’s life.
The Little Village of Book Lovers will be released on July 25, 2023. A friendly reminder to order from your local indie bookstore! If you don’t have one, let me know and I can share one that ships for free.
I was given a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, though I have already preordered my own copy.
