Brush up on your French

Many phrases were translated for the listener in the accompanying paragraphs but not all. That was annoying. But more annoying was the obsession that developed with the online dating. Not quite what the summary promised. Still the author captured the life of the divorcee in the small details and the audio was true to that in tone.
Production error with a repeated sentence somewhere around chapter 9. Narrator lost her accent and voice of the character once or twice. But on whole did a creditable job.
