Publisher's summary

One of the great novels of 19th-century France, Flaubert draws a deeply-felt but sympathetic portrait of a woman who, having warned a country doctor and found herself unhappy with a rural, genteel existence, longs for love and excitement. Her aspirations and her desires lead her into a tragic spiral downwards.

Excellent abridged version

I love Madame B, the novel. And tho I'm a fan of the original, this abridged version is fantastic. The majority of the story is captured as well as all the emotion.
But it's Imogen that really makes this version shine. She delivers the best performance. She has the most perfect and passionate voice for Madame. She had the right whispers. The right outbursts. I can listen to her over and over.
I have multiple versions of the Madame Bovary novel and this is the best because of the performance.
