Dominique Fortier 
The Island of Books [EPUB ebook] 

Support

A fifteenth-century portrait painter, grieving the untimely death of his unrequited love, takes refuge at the monastery at Mont Saint-Michel, an island off the coast of France. He haunts the halls until the monks assign him the task of copying manuscripts – though he is illiterate. His work heals him and grows the monastery’s library into a beautiful city of books, all under the shadow of the invention of the printing press.
