The French title is Notre Dame de Paris, which reflects the focus of the book more accurately than the English title does. However, Quasimodo is certainly the most well known character and plays a key role in the novel.

Rosemarie, are you reading the book in French? If so it would be good to see how well the book has been translated into English.

I read the book in French earlier in the year. There is one chapter in the first part that is entirely description- just to warn you (smile).
