FEATURED AUTHOR - Anna Stuart wanted to be an author from the moment she could pick up a pen and was writing boarding-school novels by the age of nine. She made the early mistake of thinking she ought to get a ‘proper job’ and went into Factory Planning—a career that provided her with wonderful experiences, amazing friends, and even a fantastic husband, but didn’t offer much creative scope. When she stopped having children, she took the chance to start the ‘improper job’ of writing.

I did not at all like. The author was determined to make every single thing in the novel a tragedy. She kills almost every character present in starting. And, there is no love or love story. Very rough and cruel. And most importantly tough of literature is not there.
Zero Stars.
Read some translation which is close to original (like wordsworth editions) because Flaubert plays with words.
Fabulous.
This is a book which would clearly strike at your conscience. It is a book for those people who want to think about society, its rituals, human emotions, and conscience.
The language is so beautiful, and story is also up to the mark.
It is similar to "Crime and Punishment" in its conclusions, but in my view it is even better.
If you don't mind to stress your mind a little bit to think, then it is a standard recommendation.
