I'm very disappointed with this as I expected to really enjoy it. Unfortunately the main Librivox narrator read in a hurry, and another kept inserting weird pauses every second sentence. One of the narrators is excellent, but her first story had so much French in it, which she read with apparent fluency, that I couldn't understand it. I started on two other stories that had good narrators, but I quickly became disinterested and bored. Judging by the description, this should be a wonderful book. So perhaps it's one that should be read, rather than listened to.
