I understand that de + les = des, but is it more natural to use 'des' here, even though the 'les' is part of the title "Les Misérables"? The alternative correct answer was given as 'la petite fille dans "Les Misérables", which seems to preserve the title of the book.

I see this is the subject of a question and answer but I don’t think the response is adequate. The text of the lesson states that the meaning depends on the context. Surely the context means that ‘Bien sûr qu’on se déteste’ means ‘of course we hate each other’ as the correct response - because I want sort of context would tow people say to another we hates ourselves? I think this needs fixing or the lesson should at least be clear that both translations are possible.
