The Bookshop in the Rue Basse

On a cold Saturday in January, Julie finally walks down to the address in entry eight and finds a green window full of books and a line written on the glass by hand: closing on 30 April. Inside, on a ladder, is Claire, who took the shop over nine years ago and has just learned that her rent will double.

Level B1, 3 chapters. Read the chapter in the book first, then listen — or listen first and read along.
