About this listen

La Reine Margot is a novel of suspense and drama which recreates the violent world of intrigue, murder, and duplicity of the French Renaissance. Dumas fills his canvas with a gallery of unforgettable characters, unremitting action, and the engaging generosity of spirit which has made him one of the world’s greatest and best-loved storytellers.

I could not imagine that there was an educated person in the world who would pronounce Medici as “Madeesees”. Since Catherine de Medici is the villain of the book, this is not trivial. French words are pronounced very poorly too, but not quite as badly. Too bad. I am not sure I will be able to finish this.
