pronunciation guide

Many of you have written to say that you don’t know how to pronounce the French words I use in the books. This is completely understandable, and while I use the words simply as atmosphere and location setters I can understand your frustration. So, with the help of my assistant Lise, I have recorded a pronunciation guide for each book. Please click on your chosen book title to hear the guide.

Thank you for caring how the words sound in the language of Armand and Reine Marie.

To begin with I have also recorded a pronunciation guide for the main book characters names.

Many thanks to CIDI Community Radio Station, who made these recordings possible
