French narrator difficult to follow

Loved the story but found that the French narrator was very difficult for me to follow.

captivating listening!!

Loved this tale, I was brought to tears often as it transported me back and forth through time. The narration by Clzre Corbett and Penelope Rawlins was excellent and enthralling

Don’t like the French accent narration

I didn’t like the French accent narration. Or at it would have been restricted to the dialogs!
Besides, the Kindle text doesn’t synchronize with the audible narration (as almost allways do).
I was disappointed.

The Girl you left behind

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Mo, she was an interesting character and I wish there was a little more of her

What about Clare Corbett and Penelope Rawlins ’s performance did you like?

The narration was great by both ladies

If you could take any character from The Girl You Left Behind out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Mo, she seems like a lot of fun

Any additional comments?

I found this book a little slow at the beginning, I struggled with it for maybe the first hour. But after that I really started to enjoy the story. Overall I really enjoyed it!!

Superb!

I loved this beautiful story of love, loss and redemption. Of impossible choices…. Transportive and satisfying.
