Flaubert's Sentimental Education was the first great novel I ever read. Today I decided to pick it back up--it is glorious. If someone was only going to read one novel this summer Sentimental Education would be my pick. The cleanliness of the prose and the power of description are nearly unmatched but better than that it provides a view into one of the most important moments in recent history: France in the middle of the 19th century.
