5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional realist novel, November 23, 2008
This review is from: Madame Bovary (Norton Critical Editions) (Paperback)
What could anyone ask for when reading a work for a class in Realism than a novel that not only inspires one to keep reading, but also contains a transcript of a trial the author goes through on a charge he was lewd and lacivious in the writing of the story?

Flaubert keeps the reader entertained with his descriptive rendering of a woman who cannot accept her life with her boring husband and takes lovers to keep her passionate flame lit. The sad part of the tale is the husband never knows and loves her unconditionally, and even at the end find reasons to hold her in the highest esteem and diefy her name.
