Historia
This audiobook should be the first novel you try in French! Following a story in French can be difficult, even for advanced students. French novels are usually full of idiomatic expressions. They use complicated tenses, complex sentence structures, and often slang. This audiobook is in simple French. It's about the joys and the frustrations of an adult learning French. It includes a good dose of humor and a few exercises.

"Le premier soir, je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors, vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : "S'il vous plaît... dessine-moi un mouton !" J'ai bien regardé. Et j'ai vu ce petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement..."

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.

They use complicated tenses, complex sentence structures, and often slang. This audiobook, written in easy French, is recommended for French learners with a basic understanding of French at a pre-intermediate level and above.
The audiobook is divided into two sections:
Section 1 has the story written completely in French and includes vocabulary and grammar exercises.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Historia
Renowned as much for her wit and satirical social commentary as for her stories of love and romance, Jane Austen remains unfailingly relevant and one of Britain’s best loved authors. In this Audible Original collection, an all-star list of narrators (Billie Piper, Claire Foy, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) capture Austen’s pin-sharp humour and tone in these dramatisations of her six beloved novels accompanied by a full cast.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

Wonderful!
In my study of French and other languages, I almost always have to metaphorically grit my teeth to get through the exercises - like cod liver oil, they are supposed to be good for you, but not much fun to get through.
This book + and all the other books by France Dubin (I've bought them all in both paperback and audiobook and have gone through about half of them so far) are just the opposite. Each one is a gem, both in content and narrative. The fact is, that Madam Dubin is not just a great teacher, but a superb storyteller. And the truth is that I devour everything she writes because the stories are so good, so compelling, so real.
Where traditional French materials are something of a slog, France Dubin's stories - written and told aloud - are a joy, something to look forward to. These are stories where you learn French effortlessly because you can't wait to see what happens next. The level is - at least for me - perfect. Not too easy, not too hard.
Often the subject matter of other language tutors is disjointed - unrelated sentences - or student oriented. These are stories for adults. They are stories about what happens every day and to everyone (sooner or later). She has a delightful sense of humor that occasionally borders on the mildly naughty (e.g. the titles of the Merde! series) - but delightfully so. So you hear and read about daily life - food, travel, dress, meeting people, shopping, geography, history; there are love stories and even occasionally - tragedy. There is emotional content to the stories - it's not just a travelogue - there are ups and downs (like life itself). And you hear everything with France Dubin's beautiful, clear speaking voice. She articulates every word perfectly with an exemplary French pronunciation. Her tempo is ideal for me (lower intermediate) - often with other French audiobooks the speed is just too fast. Comprehension is enhanced because the context of the narrative usually makes clear the meaning of the word, even if I might not know or remember it.
The best way to do one of her books might be this: First, read through the French (paperback) story; simply check the English translation in the back when you encounter words or phrases that you don't know. Then listen to the audiobook. Ideally, repeat this, or least listen to it two (or even three) times. The magic that happens is that now that the story is familiar is both print and audio versions, you listen to it with near-instant comprehension, almost like listening to a story in English (assuming that is your native tongue). Each of the story series bears multiple readings/listenings. And after you have done one book or one series this way, the next one is that much easier. It's just a pure please to read and/or listen to her stories - all the while improving your French vocabulary, comprehension, and knowledge.
What the books (print and audio) don't provide: You actively responding in French. Thus, it would be good to complement these books with reading the text aloud for practice (and perhaps listening to your recorded self - to try to make your accent match hers [she reads all the books]; doing Pimsleur audiobooks where you havre to respond; and ideally working with a tutor/teacher where you have to converse (or if you know some French speakers, have them over for a French-only dinner).
I plan to read/listen to all of Madame Dubin's books - perhaps more than once - and then (unless by then she has written more - please please) go on to other available French books and stories, written and audiobook. In short - I can't recommend France Dubin's books highly enough. Run, don't walk, to buy them all. Vite, vite!

A Great Start
This series has surprises and humor. It also describes Paris very well. The details of characters and places are very enjoyable. I care about the main character and identify enough with her to enjoy Paris through her eyes. The delivery of the story is lively and easy to understand--a perfect tone as well.

What a find! A real novella, slow and clear.
This is the first book of a series of three novellas. Unlike many audiobooks offering you French stories, this is a real story. Jacqueline, now divorced, is catching up with old friends at a party after many years. There, she meets an old flame, also divorced, as handsome as ever. He is now a successful businessman though, and invites her to join him on a three-day business trip to Paris. Will the city of Romance rekindle the passion they once felt? See, real story. Yet it introduces real and relevant vocabulary in a measured and clear way. The author has truly thought this out, and well done to her!
I've moved to France, and the problem with French audiobooks is they can be way too fast for non-French speakers. I usually listen on around 80% speed in the hope of catching every 2nd word or so. This book is written and read for non-French speakers, with simple sentence constructions. Also she reads slowly and clearly, so it's a great way to build confidence before venturing onto harder material. And, it's a real story, not those silly interactions that pass off as stories. It's a series of three novellas, which should be read in sequence. The audiobooks do not come with the supplementary English translation and quiz, but if you're training your ear, that should not be a problem.
