Short stories by Guy Maupassant with text in English and French

Present :Anne, Chris, Jane, Caroline and Lorraine
Apologies from Sally

It was agreed that we all enjoyed reading these stories. Anne commented on the author's fascination with prostitutes! We enjoyed being able to read the book in either or both languages. Jane had read most of it in French but finished off in English and found it flowed better and was easier to follow. Perhaps because the original is in old French and the translation is in modern English?
We all gave it 4****
