~~|title=Madame Bovary of the Suburbs~~

~~|rating=2.5~~

~~|genre=General Fiction~~

~~|summary=''It starts with becoming a homeowner, then settling in, then reproducing.''~~

Well, it actually starts a lot before then, with a set of fractured memories of our heroine's childhood – things she recalls her parents and relatives saying both to and about her. It goes through her childhood, and pen letters to a best friend conveying her wishes for her life, those wishes being revised and affirmed by the liberty of university years, those wishes being met with or denied by married life… Someone archly could point out that you should be careful what you wish for, but not even our wise, modern woman could not see the next step after the reproducing – ''standing disappointed in front of the refrigerator''.
