Currently Reading: The Matchmaker of Périgord

After I finished reading Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi, I was looking for the next book I wanted to read. So, I went searching through my bookcases and on one of the shelves I found The Matchmaker of Périgord by Julia Stuart. This has been sitting on the shelf for quite some time, I remember buying this book and a few others at a thrift store, I posted them for a New Book Purchase post.

Anyway, the description seems really interesting with Guillaume Ladoucette deciding to switch careers from being a barber to becoming a matchmaker. I wonder how that's going to work out? According to the description, it seems like it's not going to go too well. I can't wait to start reading this.

Book: The Matchmaker of Périgord by Julia Stuart

Description:

The charming tale of a small French town in which the local barber, whose business is failing as his clients grow older and lose their hair, decides to become the town matchmaker.

Barber Guillaume Ladoucette has always enjoyed great success in his tiny village in southwestern France, catering to the tonsorial needs of Amour-sur-Belle's thirty-three inhabitants. But times have changed. His customers have grown older—and balder. Suddenly there is no longer a call for Guillaume's particular services, and he is forced to make a drastic career change. Since love and companionship are necessary commodities at any age, he becomes the town's official matchmaker and intends to unite hearts as ably as he once cut hair. But alas, Guillaume is not nearly as accomplished an agent of amour, as the disastrous results of his initial attempts amply prove, especially when it comes to arranging his own romantic future.

For every reader who adored Chocolat, Julia Stuart's The Matchmaker of Périgord is a delectable, utterly enchanting, and sinfully satisfying delight.
