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. 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 that-most of all-it's never too late to rediscover your dreams. Little does he know that something strange-and wonderful-is about to happen. Six months after the funeral, Julien finds himself standing in the most famous cemetery in Paris, the painful first letter in his hand. Before her death, she made her husband promise to write her thirty-three letters, one for each year of her life.

Julien Azouly, the famous French writer of beautiful romance novels, has stopped believing in love. For fans of Nina George, Elena Ferrante, and Valentina Cebeni, a charming, uplifting novel about a man who sets out to fulfil his dead wife's last wish.
