Monsieur Perdu is a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore on the Seine, he prescribes novels as medicine for the hardships of life, using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs. The only person he can't seem to heal though is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened. After he finally reads the letter, he departs with his book-barge to the south of France, hoping to find the end of the story.
