Emile Zola
The Earth
An excellent story and great descriptions of people and countryside. Reminded me of Victor Hugo which maybe was just the French based story. The descriptions and stories of peasants (as they are referred to) are very much like Dickens and Hardy. Although there are a lot of references to casual sex which maybe was acceptable in France but not in Victorian Britain. A short summary of what is a great book. Must read more...
