Nicolas Barreau writes light romantic fiction set largely in Paris, using bookshops, cafés, letters, mistaken identities and chance encounters to create gentle literary mysteries around relationships. The Ingredients of Love, also published as The Restaurant of Love Regained in some editions, follows restaurant owner Aurélie as she searches for the author of a novel that appears to contain her own restaurant. One Evening in Paris centres on a small cinema and a mysterious woman who attends a weekly screening, while Love Letters from Montmartre follows a widowed writer asked to produce regular letters after his wife's death. Barreau's novels are warm, easy-paced and strongly place-based, with Paris functioning as part of the romantic machinery. They fit romantic fiction, Paris novels and bookish contemporary romance, especially for readers of Antoine Laurain. Read more Less
