I agree with you about the title: le pendentif de jade suggests that's the core of the story, instead of a minor thread. But I hope you enjoyed the book anyway. Thank you for stopping by the blog.

But inside the text it's called "L'Agency" and the mix between French and English looks weird to me (but maybe only me). By the way, I don't understand why the English title wasn't translated. It fits better than "The Jade Pendant" in my opinion. Ok, to stop complain, I'll try to read the next one in English (so I won't have to wait too much) I just read it in French and I like the title “The Agency”.

And I love that English words have romantic value in France; it's exactly the reverse here. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it, Sheejhaumn!

I really enjoyed reading it ! I believe that in French, the translation for "Agency" as used here would rather be "Organisation" (french word !), but nowadays, children learn english soon, and the musicality (?) of english words is still a true romance to us, french people...

I'm rather pleased myself (though it's wearing off - revisions today). And Melody, it's not me - I'm just ridiculously, unfairly, disproportionately lucky, I'm afraid. Thank you, Steph and Melody!

I like this cover also. What did you have to do to get so many great artists and photographers from around the world? I’m glad you finished your draft. I like this cover also.
