About This Novel
Emma is the daughter of a wealthy farmer. She was educated in a convent since she was a child. She is beautiful, loves poetry and art, and is proficient in dance, painting, embroidery, and music. However, she feels that the plain country life is boring and suffocating, and she yearns passionately for romantic, beautiful love, and a vigorous life. Perhaps it was the desire for a new life, or perhaps the freshness brought by country doctor Charles Bovary, that made her believe that she finally got the love in her fantasy. Eventually, she married Charles Bovary. Before getting married, Emma thought she knew what love was, but after getting married, she didn't see the happiness she should get from love. Sometimes she thought that she must have lost her mind and fell into this unremarkable marriage, so she especially wanted to know: happiness, satisfaction, fascination, what these charming words in the book meant in life. And it was this restless desire that guided her step by step into the abyss...
