The entanglement, pain and beauty in love can all be found in this book. The main novella "Paris Alone" tells the story of Nell, a British girl with social anxiety, who spends three days alone in the romantic city of Paris. Nair originally planned to spend a three-day holiday in Paris with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend turned down the appointment without any reason. Having difficulty communicating and not knowing French, she spent three days alone in Paris. The difficulties came one after another. Fortunately, here she met Fabian, a French guy who was also lovelorn and frustrated... And her destiny changed.

A year and a half after Will's death, Lou has not gotten over her loss. She misses the Paris fashion class she agreed to sign up for and returns to Will's empty London apartment to work a crappy job as an airport barmaid. She promised Will a good life, but she didn't feel that she was still alive at all. Can people only rely on memories to get through life? After an accident, Lou got acquainted with Sam, a gentle and reliable ambulance driver, but she never dared to respond too much for fear of forgetting Will or being hurt again. Until one day, a wild and rebellious fourteen-year-old girl rang Lou's doorbell and claimed: Will Traynor is my father.

The young and rebellious Alice thought that she could start a completely different life by crossing the ocean. But life in the New World was far more boring and depressing than she expected. When she learned that the "Horseback Library" project needed female librarians, she decided to sign up despite her family's objections. Alice joins a strange little team, including Beth, a tomboy who doesn't get any love from her family, Izzy, a wealthy daughter who is super unsure because of her lameness, Sophia, a black woman who has always been resolute and courageous despite the discrimination of the world, and Margery, who has a "bastard" father and is a maverick. They overcame many difficulties and worked together to send books, stories, knowledge, hope, and love to the most remote families. While lighting up the lives of others, it also makes your own days full of vitality because of such a long journey. Of course, not everyone likes them, and not everyone thinks reading is a good thing. They must work hard to protect this beloved career, and also face the storms in their own destiny... This book is based on the historical facts of the "Great Depression" period in the 1930s.
