A review by mikhail_mascarenhas
Three Tales by Gustave Flaubert

3.0

Thoroughly enjoyed 'A Simple Heart' and 'The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator'. These short stories have common themes of compassion, regret and remorse.

The third tale 'Herodias' was dry. Brushed past the initial pages and ended up skipping the rest as it was considerably dull. Maybe the fact that I knew the story beforehand led to cursory glances towards it. Honestly, I'd rather be beheaded than read a further page (wink wink).
