Summary
In Madame Bovary, one of the great novels of nineteenth-century France, Flaubert draws a deeply felt and sympathetic portrait of a woman who, having married a country doctor and found herself unhappy with a rural, genteel existence, longs for love and excitement. However, her aspirations and her desires to escape only bring her further disappointment and eventually lead to unexpected, painful consequences. Flaubert’s critical portrait of bourgeois provincial life remains as powerful as ever.

Juliet Stevenson brings the text to life. The book is long so a good audio book version is super important. With the free Librivox versions it's very hit and miss !

Beautifully written. I devoured this book. I must read everything Gustave Flaubert has ever written ! I was in awe of the artistry he used to describe things while leaving the reader to see every little detail in their mind’s eye . Just stunning. The narrator was probably one of the best I’ve heard to date. She was perfect for this book, her voice was pleasant, and she voiced the characters extremely well.
