The Matchmaker of Perigord

ebook
"[A] frothy debut, as enchanting as Joanne Harris's Chocolat"—from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise (More Magazine).
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.
"A hilarious romp off the beaten track. Love it to bits." —Joanne Harris, New York Times–bestselling author of Chocolat
"Filled with enchanting settings and a brilliant attention to detail, Stuart's first novel is an enjoyable trip through the sweetness, sadness, and hilarity that love—and life—often brings." —Library Journal
"Deliciously witty . . . Stuart does for Périgord what Peter Mayle did for Provence." —James Tipton, author of Annette Vallon
"Fast, furious and incredibly funny." —She magazine (UK)
