The Red Notebook
by Antoine Laurain, translated from the French by Jane Aitken and Emily Boyce
159 pages
Fiction
Published in March 2014 by Gallic Books
From Goodreads: Heroic bookseller Laurent Letellier comes across an abandoned handbag on a Parisian street. There’s nothing in the bag to indicate who it belongs to, although there’s all sorts of other things in it. Laurent feels a strong impulse to find the owner and tries to puzzle together who she might be from the contents of the bag. Especially a red notebook with her jottings, which really makes him want to meet her. Without even a name to go on, and only a few of her possessions to help him, how is he to find one woman in a city of millions?
I don’t remember where I came across this book. I think it was an article about great books in translation, and the summary made it sound really interesting. I haven’t checked yet to see if my local library has a copy. I should do that soon. It’s not very long, and it seems like it could be a pretty fun book to read.

I really liked this book. I thought it was intriguing and interesting and fun. Interested in hearing your thoughts!
Good to hear! I’ll definitely review it whenever I get around to it!
Funny note…it was after reading this book that I went out and bought the little pink notebook I carry around with me all the time…
