A review by jennifercawley
A Simple Heart by Gustave Flaubert

2.0

Sometimes you have to read something, not because you want to, but because you are forced to. Often times, it's a story you end up loving. This was NOT one of those times. The parrot was, by far, the most interesting character ... despite (or perhaps DUE TO) his limited dialogue. What an uneventful tale of a woman with the worst luck in the world. Reading this was like hanging out with a friend who complains too damn much. You just keep wondering when it's going to stop.
