Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

Emma Bovary is a sensuous and sentimental young woman who is trapped in alifeless marriage to a dull country doctor. Stifled by the monotony of provincial life, she yearns for passin and intimacy, yet she finds only greed, deceit and heartbreak. As one sordid love affair leads to another, we watch her plummeting towards the dreadful fate that awaits her.
