Madame Bovary by Gustave FlaubertMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
For years I have shunned classic books for no particular reason, and I wished I had not.
This book is so rich in text and so well written. The text just flowed so wonderfully. The use of words was like poetry in some instances.
It is such a sad romantic tale.
Emma (Madame Bovary), marries a doctor but yearns for romance and things above her means. She has affairs and gets herself and her husband into terrible debt and about to become destitute.
I will leave it there as I don't want my review to contain spoilers.
