Über diesen Titel

Marianne Messman longs to escape her loveless marriage to an uncaring husband - an artillery sergeant major named Lothar. On a day trip to Paris, Marianne decides to leap off the Pont Neuf into the Seine, but she is saved from drowning by a homeless man.

While recovering in hospital, Marianne comes across a painting of the tiny port town of Kerdruc in Brittany and decides to try her luck on the coast. In Kerdruc, Marianne meets a host of colourful characters who all gravitate around the restaurant of Ar Mor (The Sea).

It is this cast of true Bretons who become Marianne's new family and among whom she will find love once again. But with her husband looking to pull her back to her old life, Marianne is left with a choice: to step back into the known or to take a huge jump into an exciting and unpredictable future.

I enjoyed this audiobook well enough. It's not too profound or mind-blowing - every character in this story suffers from some form of heartache, and the story is about how resolving the heartache changes all of their lives for the better. This is especially true for the main character who, at 60 years old, finds herself in a situation where she feels that the only freedom she has in her life is making the decision to end it (Trigger warning for suicide and depression!). After a failed suicide attempt, she embarks on a journey to discover who she is, what she wants and what she is capable of. The overall story is nothing special - sometimes too convenient and too unlikely for my taste. From a storytelling point of view, I MUCH preferred The Little Paris Bookshop to this story, but it's still a nice enough listening experience with a number of charming moments.

This is to no small extent due to the outstanding performance of the narrator, who, through her remarkable skill, brings the story and its characters to life.
Unfortunately, someone messed up and botched her last name... Which is why I couldn't find any other audio books narrated by her at first, which seemed odd, given her caliber.

Her name is Julia Franklin, not Franken.

I hope someone reads this... Ms. Franklin deserves proper credit for her work, as well as being searchable on audible for people who enjoy her performance so much that they'd like to be able to check out more of her work - like me.

Julia Franklin, not Franken!
