This was an okay story. I had a bit of trouble understanding most of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do you suffer from bibliomania? John W. Doull does — and his Dartmouth bookstore proves it - by Andrew Sampson on the CBC News website: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/john-w-doull-bookseller-profile-1.691...

I found some sections of this book interesting and others incredibly boring. As the fictional narrator described Flaubert‘s life and his own, my main thought though was curiosity about which parts about Flaubert were fact or fiction. I went in knowing nothing about Flaubert except that he was an author, so I might consider revisiting after reading one of his books. I wouldn‘t recommend it to someone without interest in his life and writing.

Madame Bovary tells the bleak story of a marriage that ends in tragedy. Charles Bovary, a good-hearted but dull and unambitious doctor with a meagre practice, marries Emma, a beautiful farm girl raised in a convent.

We were in class when the headmaster came in, followed by a 'new fellow,' not wearing the school uniform, and a school servant carrying a large desk.

Ok this may not be #Top10Summer2023 I decided to pick my top 5 as I didn‘t read nearly as many books this summer as I usually do. Life happens. The list and the tag from @batsy helped me decide to revisit what I read.All top notch in my humble opinion .😄

Took me a while but I thoroughly enjoyed this biography of Flaubert. Divided into three parts -- Romanticism, The Purge, Realism -- it charts Flaubert's development from an eccentric romantic youth to a serious artist exploiting bourgeois style to skewer the bourgeoisie. It helps that Flaubert is a truly entertaining (and inconsistent) character. Bios are not my usual cuppa but this one read like a good novel. Now to revisit Madame Bovary!
