Das geheime Leben des Monsieur Pick

In a small, remote village in Brittany, there is a very special library. Here, books are collected that were never allowed to be published. One day, a young editor discovers a manuscript that even causes a stir in the capital, Paris, and changes the lives of many people. The author, Henri Pick, was the local pizza maker. However, his widow insists that he never read a single book in his life and never wrote anything down except shopping lists. Did Monsieur Pick perhaps lead a secret second life? A charming novel - light, uplifting, and full of wit. About the joy of being surprised by life. A French feel-good novel for fans of Nicolas Barreau. "What a wonderful pastime reading can be."
