    There is an audio version on TIDAL read by the author himself.

    The album is called: « Albert Camus - l'étranger (texte intégral lu par l'auteur) »

    Ok really intrigued at this point, but I’m listening to the audiobook and it has no chapters, it’s just free flowing and it’s lowk driving me mad. Like I enjoy it and I feel like it works well, esp since he’s a kid, but like where do I stop?! It feels wrong to just pause in the middle and I don’t like that feeling!

    Our protagonist was offered 100 (monégasque) francs as a 10% commission by the dressmaker, which puts the three frocks at 1000 Fr.

    From the back editions of the Journal de Monaco, I inferred that the Monégasque franc and the French franc have been fixed on par with one another (1 MCF = 1 Fr.)

    If we assume the story to be set around 1905 (I only infer this from the date of publishing, the possible age of our protagonist, and the mention of automobiles which only took off broadly around the turn of the 19ᵗʰ/20ᵗʰ century), then 100 MCF in 1905, adjusted for inflation, are about €510 – that’s about GBP 445.

    Our protagonist refused what amounted to roughly 5% of her yearly income (90 British pounds in 1905 equal to about 14,000 British pounds today, if my information is correct).

    Girl, TAKE THE MONEY!
