Zola's second novel in a series.
This is bleak stuff about corruption and incest.
None of the characters endear themselves and are almost too evil to believe at times.
It paints a great picture of the rebuilding of Paris and of Parisian society and in Mme Sidonie is close to comedy.
I need a break before I start on Le ventre de Paris-some light relief. I need a nice character! 5/10
