Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert - A Chiltern Classic

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

The realities of married life in a provincial town fall a long way short of Emma Bovary’s romantic expectations. To fill the void she embarks on reckless affairs and impetuous spending on the luxuries that she dreamt of. But when her debts are called in, Emma must face reality and the consequences are tragic.
