"Listening to the audiobook during travel for work. It’s read by Andy Serkis — so many incredible different voices. Nice to be able to half-listen while traveling since I already know the story, but Serkis’s reading is still incredibly engaging" — Jan 08, 2026 04:58AM

“We walked along Port Royal until it became Montparnasse, and then on past the Lilas, Lavigne's, and all the little cafés, Damoy's, crossed the street to the Rotonde, past its lights and tables to the Select.”

“We walked on and circled the island. The river was dark and a bateau mouche went by, all bright with lights, going fast and quiet up and out of sight under the bridge. Down the river was Notre Dame squatting against the night sky.

“She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after very one else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking.

“I do not know how people could say such terrible things to Robert Cohn. There are people to whom you could not say insulting things. They give you a feeling that the world would be destroyed, would actually be destroyed before your eyes, if you said certain things.”

“I was a fool to go away," she said. "One's an ass to leave Paris.”
