What Members Thought

French literature, from 1001 books, TBR takedown. A story of the life of a prostitute who rises from street walker to high class but as she does so, she destroys many lives and her true nature comes out in the end. Not much to like about Nana, she embodies a whole lot of negative characteristics. Not my favorite Zola.
