Finally, get the answer to the question that has been plaguing Francophiles for centuries. What ever happened to the only daughter of the scandalous Madame Bovary, literature’s greatest dreamer and worst mother?
Linda Urbach, author of Madame Bovary’s Daughter (Random House) will discuss her novel and the fate of her character Berthe Bovary at Bernard’s at 12 PM on May 17.
What you may remember about Madame Bovary is that she was disappointed in her marriage, shopped a great deal, drove her family into bankruptcy, was abandoned by two lovers, and finally took her own life. Who even remembers she had a daughter?
