The In love Astronomer

What could possibly connect an 18th-century astronomer and a lonely realtor of our days? You think, nothing? However, in the story of Antoine Laurent, they are linked by a telescope and a planet named after the goddess of love.
The narrative... begins with the introduction to Guillaume Le Gentil, the astronomer of King Louis XV. In March 1760, he leaves France and heads to the shores of India to capture a rare astronomical phenomenon — the transit of Venus. However, what was supposed to be a short trip drags on for a whole eleven years.
In 2012, realtor Xavier Lemercier finds an interesting artifact in the Paris apartment he sold — an antique telescope. The telescope belonged to Guillaume Le Gentil. This discovery will trigger a chain of intriguing events and changes in his life.
This novel by Laurent combines an exciting adventure with a modern touching love story.
