In this episode, I tell you the story of the most scandalous novel in French history, and of the woman at its heart.

Why France put a book on trial in 1857, who Emma Bovary really was, and why, more than a century later, her longing for a more beautiful life still touches us.

A calm, human walk into French literature, with a gentle invitation to read a little Flaubert yourself.
