Jessica On the audiobook, it sounds like Isabeau (Isabelle but with a "bow" sound on the end).
Candice Ee-zah-boh.
I had to google it. It's is Medieval French for Isabelle.
Janet If you've ever watched Lost Girl (was on Syfy) the main character goes by Bo, but her name was Isabeau, so that's how I figured out how to pronounce it.
June Phonetic wise it is Ess-abow
MISSed Bandwagon It's like trying to figure out how to pronounce Hermione's name. And of course the thing you can't pronounce is what crops up a million times. Visiting her for the first time in Sept-Tours was hell.
