poor translation which spoils the reading!

"The Sourie women" is translated from the German ("Das Lächeln der Frauen")
The result is in a heavy French text, with grammatical errors, and awkward phrases, artificial dialogues.
I was so exasperated that I could not sympathize with the protagonists.
Too bad, because the story is quite original.
It is possible that the German version of the novel is entertaining and fun.
