Required reading for my Modern and Contemporary Literature class.

I understand the importance of this novel, as FMF literally started the impressionist movement, but I just cannot get behind it. It’s just a man raving on and on about the man who keeps cheating on his wife, yet he still holds good faith for him. I don’t see the point, to be so honest. 

Maybe I’m just bitter that I had to read this entire thing in 5 days. That’s also a possibility, but I think I have the right to hold that bitterness lol.

Impeccably written. One of the saddest books I’ve ever read.
