"I spent a great deal of time on the Internet to find French/English translators, as well as reactions to translations. My choice lighted on you for several reasons: first, the feminine sensitivity, and then I must confess that I asked at least ten translators to translate the preface as a test, and I compare all the texts. Yours was the most poetic. I have found over these three months of collaboration, a perfect translator, perfectionist, and above all, a sensitive person full of goodness. My intuition did not lead me astray."
