About this listen

This is the compelling story of two women, born centuries apart, and the ancestral legacy that binds them. Ella Turner tries hard to fit into the small, close-knit community of the French town that she has moved to. She even changes her name back to Tournier, and knocks the rust off her high-school French. However, isolated and lonely, she is drawn to investigate her Tournier ancestry, with heart-wrenching results.

I think that the Frenchwords should be translated to English to allow better understanding of the book!

Without mentioning what year or century the book was set & French not translated to English it is quite a frustrating listen. Perhaps better as a book. The main character is a mess of a woman who never gets herself together. The use of a single narrator with Californian, French & children's voices is annoying to the point I sped up the book to get through it. I seek truth in historical fiction but sadly parts of the story were simply not believable, eg removing a human skeleton, transporting it & reburying it yourself?!? Returned to Audible
