The entire book is a scandal. A horrible ending. Written very raw. I do like the way Zola tries to justify each character, when it is plan that they are going farther into ruin. But really, did she have to die?? Why couldn't she end up with Goujet? That would've made a marvelous ending! But I guess the French like tragedies more.
The book was alright. Very intense story.
