A review by joannaautumn
A Simple Heart by Gustave Flaubert
3.0
Such a simple and touching story.
Sometimes you don't need a lot of things to be happy in life. Even though religion and domestic life haven't given me the same peace and serenity I respect people who find joy in them.
I liked the book overall, and Flaubert has a beautiful writing style that won me over in Madame Bovary. Probably the next book I'll read from him will be Sentimental Education, to shorten my physical to-read pile.
