Query: Very confusing translation

I've heard that this is an excellent novel, one of Mauriac's best. Unfortunately, Mr. Hopkins' translation does not do it justice. Jumbled sentences and awkward constructions detract from the story to the point where I was literally unable to finish the book. Perhaps I'll have better luck with it in the original French... but I seriously wouldn't recommend spending money on this translation.
