I was expecting to really enjoy it as I loved Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and have heard comparisons between these two books. I liked it but wasn't overly taken by it. I think that is largely to do with my dislike of the main character, Emma Bovary. I found her so irritatingly selfish. </p> <p>While Anna Karenina was too guilty of similar infidelities I found her a likable character - who did appear to suffer guilt with regards her misdemeanors, and who did grieve the situation of separation as it arose between herself and her son, unlike Madame Bovary.</p> <p>Loved the novel 'Anna Karenina', glad to have read 'Madame Bovary' but can't see myself rereading it. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/madame-bovary#post-461 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:03:57 +0000 Bashert 461@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>Yes ... read it some years ago. Super read on the lines of Anna Karenina. </p> http://dinetoread.ie/forums/topic/madame-bovary#post-460 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:48:26 +0000 Deno 460@http://dinetoread.ie/forums/ <p>Anyone read Mme Bovary? </p>
