3.5 stars rounded up

my thoughts will be wrapped in a series of questions. did I enjoy this? maybe. did I love this? no, many issues actually. was it sad? yes. did it have quite powerful statements I have thought and been unable to put words to? yes, I appreciate it.

thanks to flaubert for this read but next time I hope he avoids weird comments about Black women and blind people.....

Just re-reading my 1994 AP English assigned book from Mr. Jones…
Ahhh Emma Bovary, you are quite the hussy. Always wanting more, and justifying the means to get it…until you cannot escape the hole you dug. You managed to ruin your life, your husband’s, and your 4 year old daughter’s life along the way too.
So pitiful.

I did not finish this book. Found it very hard to get into and it seemed to drag. I finally had to give up on it.
