DNF. Ugh. I know it's a classic so I tried but these super long books about how women who tried to follow their hearts were punished by society just don't work for me. As a French major, I read Madame Bovary and came away from it feeling like it was 500 pages of nothing. I know there's social commentary in all of these tomes but I still feel the same way about them all at the end - pages and pages that come to nothing but bleakness. Add this to the list of author's I won't read, all for the same reason - Edith Wharton, Maeve Binchy, etc.
