Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Paris Echo by Sebastian Faulks.
Here is Paris as you have never seen it before - a city in which every building seems to hold the echo of an unacknowledged past, the shadows of Vichy and Algeria.
American postdoctoral researcher Hannah and runaway Moroccan teenager Tariq have little in common, yet both are susceptible to the daylight ghosts of Paris. Hannah listens to the extraordinary witness of women who were present under the German Occupation; in her desire to understand their lives and through them her own, she finds a city bursting with clues and connections. Out in the migrant suburbs, Tariq is searching for a mother he barely knew. For him in his innocence each boulevard, Métro station and street corner is a source of surprise.
In this urgent and deeply moving novel, Faulks deals with questions of empire, grievance and identity. With great originality and a dark humour, Paris Echo asks how much we really need to know if we are to live a valuable life.

An excellent story well narrated
The 2 readers transport the listener with hours of relaxed enjoyment through to the end
The descriptive narrative paints a picture of present day Paris and evokes memories of past events, which need to be retold and reinforced for all listeners, especially the younger listeners.
Well worth down loading and listening to. Highly recommended.

Voices are as important as the book
I am enjoying the book but cannot continue to listen. One of the narrators has a bad case of vocal fry. If you are going to be a professional narrator I think you need to have a voice that is good to listen to. So much croaking
