It is considered one of the greatest novels ever written - author Henry James said that Madame Bovary 'has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone: it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment'. The story ends tragically when the debts are called in. All the while, Emma, with her love for luxury goods, has been getting her and her husband into more and more debt, using credit from the manipulative Monsieur Lheureux. The second is Léon Dupuis, a clerk who introduces Emma to poetry and who falls in love with her. The first with Rodolphe Boulanger, a wealthy local man who seduces Emma but grows bored of her.

In contrast to Charles, Emma is very high maintenance and though her husband does his best to keep her from feeling bored with marriage and motherhood, it doesn't work, and she has two affairs. After his wife dies unexpectedly, Charles marries Emma. It tells the story of Charles Bovary, who has an arranged marriage with a rich widow, but who falls for Emma Roualt. After the trial and acquittal of the author, Madame Bovary became a bestseller.

It was Flaubert's first novel and before it was published in book form, it was serialised in Revue de Paris where it was prosecuted for obscenity.
