The Little French Bistro

A Novel

By: Nina George

Narrated by: Emma Bering

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop, an extraordinary novel about self-discovery and new beginnings.

Marianne is stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage. After forty-one years, she has reached her limit, and one evening in Paris she decides to take action. Following a dramatic moment on the banks of the Seine, Marianne leaves her life behind and sets out for the coast of Brittany, also known as “the end of the world.”

Here she meets a cast of colorful and unforgettable locals who surprise her with their warm welcome, and the natural ease they all seem to have, taking pleasure in life’s small moments. And, as the parts of herself she had long forgotten return to her in this new world, Marianne learns it’s never too late to begin the search for what life should have been all along.

With all the buoyant charm that made The Little Paris Bookshop a beloved bestseller, The Little French Bistro is a tale of second chances and a delightful embrace of the joys of life in France.

Beautiful Story

This was a beautiful story full of emotions. While I did enjoy it, there were parts where I lost interest and became a little bored.

Great story

I so enjoy Kristen Hannah's books and this was no exception. I loved the characters and how the story came together.

She wanted to die but found a life

I liked when Marianne found a job by helping a cook. Sometimes I got lost with the names for who’s who tho. Several French names that I’m not familiar with.

Disappointing

Didn't like the story. The narrator's accents were difficult to understand and confusing with the characters. Totally lacked the charm of Bookshop novel. I'm returning this one.

Finding your true self

Loved the way the story moved from so hopeless to a transformation of love and fulfilled dreams and deep love.
