This is a lovely story.  I listened to the first half on audio.   There were two narrators.  The first played Rory, a young woman, in 1985.  The second played Soline, a young French girl, in 1943 and her older counterpart in 1985.  The Rory narration was somewhat annoying, but Soline's voice was terrific.  I finished the book reading it on Kindle.  I wish I had read it all instead of listening to it.
