A Classic from the 20th Century - Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert - 4 stars

About one third through the book, I ditched my Kindle copy and got a physical book from the library, so it was a different translation. This was the first time I noticed that translations of the same work can be good or bad. I was about to quit to the book on my Kindle. Very glad I didn't since I really ended up enjoying it! Despite its 1856 publication date, the commentary about religion and marriage is completely relevant today.
