The Red Notebook

The Red Notebook by Antoine Laurain  159 pp.

This sweet story is the tale of Parisian bookseller, Laurent, who finds a lady's purse abandoned on top of a trash can. Fearing some poor woman has been mugged, he attempts to turn it in to the police who are too busy to deal with it. Laurent takes the handbag home and then commits the ultimate sin...he goes through the purse in a search for the owners identity. In addition to ordinary items--lipstick, etc.-- he finds a small red notebook filled with random, observations made by the owner. Laurent is intrigued and begins the search for the mysterious woman in earnest. The question is will he find her and form a lasting relationship with the missing owner of the purse? I really enjoyed this small book.
