I DNFd this at 43%.  

I wanted to like this book. (But do we ever pick a book not wanting to like it?) A story set in 1720 about Parisian women prisoners being sent to Louisiana to become wives sounds intriguing.  This wasn't that.  The story moved very slowly and was mainly character driven. Problem was that we didn't stay with one character enough to like or care about them.  Their backgrounds and plot weren't linear so it was difficult to care. The POV kept changing so by the time we understood a character, their time was over.

And this might just be a me thing, but there were so many French names, words, and phrases, that I spent a majority of my time trying to figure out what was being said.  If I had had a physical copy, I don't know if I would have made it 30%, but even on the Kindle, there were only so much it could do.
