September 2024 The Fortune of the Rougons Chapters VI/VII/VIII

discussion

Finished La fortune des Rougon. Very impressed. Blend of satire and poignancy in the last chapter, returning us to the novel’s opening, was a tour de force. A great start to this reading project.

>2 booksaplenty1949: I wasn't impressed, but also was not put-off. Intrigued enough to read the second book (which I had previously done) and loved it!
