Gemma Bovery

Short description

Is is a coincidence that Gemma Bovery has a name rather like Flaubert's notorious heroine? Is it by chance that, like Madame Bovary, Gemma is bored, adulterous, and a bad credit risk? Is she inevitably doomed? These questions consume her neighbour.

Long description

Gemma is the bored, pretty second wife of Charlie Bovery, the reluctant stepmother of his children and the bete-noire of his ex-wife. A sudden windfall takes them across the Channel to France. Is it a coincidence that Gemma has a name like Flaubert's notorious heroine, that she is bored and adulterous? Is she inevitably doomed?
