Probably would've been a higher rating if I read this when I wasn't feeling so ill.

Je ne m'attendais pas à autant apprécier Zola, j'espère avoir l'occasion de lire les Rougon Macquarts

Do not look for justice in a Zola novel.

The Belly of Paris (Le Ventre de Paris), the third novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series of Les Rougon-Macquart is a criticism leveled at the fat, well fed, self-satisfied bourgeois class.
The setting is Les Halles of Paris and the story takes place over one year from 1858 to 1859.
