A review by jmoran4
Sentimental Education by Kathleen Rustum, Gustave Flaubert

1.0

This took such a long time to read, partly due to my preoccupation in graduate studies and partly due to my general disinterest in the novel. Flaubert's prose is much less engaging in this volume than in Madame Bovary, and his social critique is too abstract to hit where it matters. A lesser Balzac all around.
