LE MARIAGE

When American journalist Tim Nolinger plans his wedding to French antiques dealer Anne-Marie, a murder, an animal rights fracas, and an irreverent love affair threaten to destroy his plans. There cannot be too many actors who could have read this novel with the exquisite French spoken by Suzanne Toren. Even better than the French itself is the accent of each of the characters. There is never a faulty vowel sound, nor a mix-up between the American accents, nor a slip in characterization. The delicacy of the sounds she creates brings the very flavor of France, and many of its districts, to the reader. Toren adds color to the black and white of print. J.P.
