“Madame Bovary is like the railroad stations erected in its epoch: graceful, even floral, but cast of iron.”

New York Times Book Review


Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy, provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to suffering, corruption, and downfall. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, this classic is still revered today as one of the finest novels of English literature.

    Great novel, awful narrator

    I rarely leave reviews, but the narration on this audiobook is so poor that I'm led to writing this. Whilst this does have a mixed cast, the vast majority of the novel is from a narrator's perspective and unfortunately, the narrator speaks with a horrendous flat monotone. Coupled with the frequent mispronunciations and odd timing, I was unsure for the first few chapters as to whether the narrator was a text-to-speech program or a real person. This is a wonderful novel, so I recommend either purchasing a different version or otherwise, getting an open access text and running it through a TTS program, as this would produce same quality of narration for free!
