A review by aliceboule
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

4.0

The timelessness of Flaubert's Madame Bovary astounds me. While this type of French is difficult it is definitely worth it to read in the original language, if only to better grasp the beauty of Flaubert's writing.

The tragedy of Emma is only more distressing because she never does find happiness.

Sincerely loved this book and I find myself terribly saddened by the ending (even though I knew what would happen).
