Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn at Shakespeare & Co Jeremy Mercer

In 1999, Jeremy Mercer fled Canada for Paris with gangsters on his trail and nothing but his meagre savings. Nearly homeless after a few weeks, he met George Whitman, owner of Shakespeare and Co.

He offers Jeremy a cot and thereby begins a charming Parisian story filled with unforgettable characters like the eccentric British poet, Simon, and the beautiful blonde Pia. Time Was Soft There winds in and around the City of Lights as the staff fall in love, drink in the lowliest watering holes, manage to sell a few books, and help Whitman find a way to keep the endangered bookstore open.
