The Little Bookshop On the Seine (2015)
“Once Upon a Time, the sign read which was pinned to the top of the building, weathered and faded. I’d seen countless photos, and Sophie had taken her laptop out the front when we Skyped to show me the façade and the view of the Seine.

The way the building leaned softly, as if time and the elements had warped it.
Time slowed, while I gawped in every direction. A wor...ld of accents chattering away only just registered. There was the scent of the Seine; earthy, fathomless. The bustle of waiters at a busy bistro, glasses clinking together, the tink of cutlery on plates. Shielding my eyes from the glare of their white shirts, and silver trays held aloft, I spun, taking in the three-hundred-and-sixty degree view, like a panorama.
Cars honked and parked in spots which looked far too small, their expert drivers negotiating the tight space, without much maneuvering.MoreLess
