She has everything; doting parents, a loving husband and family; all the comforts that the middle-classes have grown accustomed to. But she's bored.

Until she meets Philippe . . . In Madame Bovary of the Suburbs, Sophie Divry dramatises the philosophical conflict between freedom and comfort that marks women's lives in a materialistic world.
