"It still astonishes. If one were to ask, 'World, which is the most perfect novel ever written?' the world would immediately answer: Madame Bovary."
Washington Post Book World
"Madame Bovary is like the railroad stations erected in its epoch: graceful, even floral, but cast of iron."
New York Times Book Review
"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."
Henry James
