What Members Thought
This book contrasts well with Tess of the D'Urbervilles, in that it's a spoiled rich social climber who gets her comeuppance instead of an innocent person in bad circumstances. Flaubert had a lot of demons to exorcise by writing this book. Can we make a psychological study of men who write books that are very negative towards women? Make no mistake, I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but sometimes I stop and wonder what happened to some authors that they can write such things.
