gasket 's review for:

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
4.0
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The new Davis translation was lovely. The book focuses on the flaws of all the characters but does so in such a way that it's easy to see one's own shortcomings.
