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.
