Dzięki tej książce zrozumiałam, że audiobooki nie są dla mnie (możliwe, że przez to moja ocena jest niższa niż byłaby jakbym czytała w papierze).

Kiedyś zrobię jeszcze jedno podejście tylko już w normalniej formie i może wtedy ocena się zmieni.

Momentami była nawet ciekawa, nic więcej nie mam do przekazania (a szkoda)

finally done - rather boring - minuet details of nothing - everyone dies in the end

Whilst I didn't find myself hugely invested in this book, I didn't dislike it either, I would say I have a neutral opinion on it. I am glad I've read it but I don't think I would now seek out other works from this author. It would be really easy for me to say I hate the character of Emma Bovary and she was an awful person but I think it's a little more complicated than that. Yes, she is manipulative, adulterous, financially irresponsible, and a whole host of other unpleasant things but there are snippets in the novel that make you pause and question her character. I'm not saying these things redeem her character in any way but they do make you realise there may be a reason why she acts the way she does. I think it was the well-developed, well-written characters that  kept me invested in this novel but ultimately it's not for me.
