Nina van der Kooij asked Alexandra Duncan:

I loved Salvage, it was a really, really good book. I have one question: how do you pronounce Perpétue?

Alexandra Duncan Hi Nian! It's pronounced similarly to "perpetual," but with an emphasis on the middle "e." The final "ue" makes an "a" sound, as in "stay." Per-pEH-tu-A. Thanks for the question!
