Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
3.0

Well that was depressing - but also a breath of fresh air. Flaubert told it like it was (people are never satisfied, usually in debt, and never really get a happy ending), so in a lot of ways made it more relatable to readers. Writing in this time period can be a bit dry with all the detail and tangents, but the writing in "Madame Bovary" flows beautifully enough to hypnotize the reader.
