I liked this book. There are two stories told. One in modern Paris and one in the Paris of the early twentieth century. I didn't know it was a prequel.I liked this book. There are two stories told. One in modern Paris and one in the Paris of the early twentieth century. I didn't know it was a prequel. The book is short (it was a 2.5 h audio book), filled with drama and sentiment, and really enjoyable. I thought it left many possibilities open for the future, now I understand why. I preferred the old Paris part, it was more involving and it gave me more deep emotions.
PS. This was my first experience with an audio book. I found it interesting. The actress was really good at doing the different voices, even if sometimes it was hard to understand everything when she was doing a French accent. Listening to a book was different, you're not as involved as when you read and it can get distracting, but it was better than I expected....more
