Madame Bovary takes place in provincial northern France, near the town of Rouen in Normandy. Charles Bovary is a shy, oddly dressed teenager arriving at a new school where his new classmates ridicule him. Charles struggles his way to a second-rate medical degree and becomes an Officier de sant in the Public Health Service. He marries the woman his mother has chosen for him, the unpleasant but supposedly rich widow H lo se Dubuc. He sets out to build a practice in the village of T tes. One day, Charles visits a local farm to set the owner's broken leg and meets his patient's daughter, Emma Rouault. Emma is a beautiful, poetically dressed young woman who has received a good education in a convent. She has a powerful yearning for luxury and romance inspired by reading popular novels. Charles is immediately attracted to her, and visits his patient far more often than necessary, until H lo se's jealousy puts a stop to the visits. When H lo se unexpectedly dies, Charles waits a decent interval before courting Emma in earnest. Her father gives his consent, and Emma and Charles marry. \n Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the World's finest literature.
