Lost in Frenchlation: Anatomy of a Fall

In this episode Yannick Champion-Osselin & Manon Kerjean interview  Sionann O'Neill & Joan Lagache, the two translators for 'Anatomy of a Fall.' The thriller that was lauded internationally for its use of linguistics as a plot device. 
'Anatomy of a Fall' follows Sandra, a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed, and Sandra becomes the main suspect.
