Hello I’m Debby in central Florida. I listened to Mona’s eyes in Audible which I thought was extremely well done (in English). It was long but glorious. I bought hardcover for my daughter.

Hello, my name is Vicki, based in the US (Central Florida), and I'm interested in joining this BookClub. I come with questions. :-) Is there a requirement to speak French? I noticed the options to read along in English or French. Also, do you know if there is a particular Substack subscription plan required to join?

I have already started it. I’m in New York City and absolutely loving it. It screamed at me when I was in a Barnes & Noble’s on Broadway and 79th St. I had no idea it was out. What a beautiful and wonderful surprise.👀🔵🔵

Hi Judy yes it will. Can't wait to read this book. :) Sorry I haven't been in touch. I did go back to LaRavanelle in June. I have missed it so much, it really is a special place. But that said, we are enjoying being back on the Northern Beaches, and the girls are really thriving at school. Lots going on, we are about to launch a website and had our first retreat at LaRavanelle last week. We are launching a website for LaRavanelle www.laravanelle.com, which will focus on specialised retreats and product launches. I will let you know when it is live. Speak soon and best regards Jacinta
