Publisher's Synopsis
She has everything; doting parents, a loving husband and family; all the comforts that the middle-classes have grown accustomed to. But she's bored. She takes up all sorts of hobbies to try to make something happen in her life, but no matter what she does, nothing truly satisfies her, because deep down, she feels flat. Empty. Until she meets Philippe . . . In Madame Bovary of the Suburbs, Sophie Divry dramatises the philosophical conflict between freedom and comfort that marks women's lives in a materialistic world.
