The Three Pines discussion

I am rereading all the Gamache books. I just finished The Beautiful Mystery. In this book the narrator is now pronouncing Francouer with a soft s sound. Before he pronounces it with a hard K sound as in cœur=heart. It just struck me as odd. Is there are reason anyone is aware of?

I do not know. BTW, how are you listening to the books? Audible?

Yes, in this case audible. I also rent the audio books from my library and listen to them through Overdrive. I swap back and forth from the ebook to audio depending on what I am doing.

Hmmm... that is weird! I’ve always said couer like the word for heart as well! A soft s seems odd!
