Nana

I bought this a little over a year ago in a bookshop where somehow every customer/employee had already read it. This led to a deep dive internet intro to Zola and the Rougon Macquart series. I ended up reading a couple other Zola books before getting to this one and really liked them. Overall, I liked Nana but not as much as I liked Germinale and L'assommoir. I think it also may have been overhyped in my head from the bookshop intro. Still good, still liked it, just didn't love it.
