14 - Part II, Chapter 5. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.  Written over a century and a half ago, Madame Bovary is still an extraordinarily fresh, exciting and shockingly frank novel, at once an acute psychological study of a woman drawn into adultery through circumstances we can partly understand, and a sharply-observed comedy that offers a fascinating glimpse of the social and cultural divisions running through French provincial society in the mid nineteenth century. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/madame-bovary-by-gustave-flaubert--6721094/support.
