Vargas Llosa não fala apenas "por que Madame Bovary remexeu camadas tão profundas do meu ser, por que me deu o que outras histórias não conseguiram me dar", fala também das circunstâncias em que Flaubert o escreveu, de suas dificuldades para encontrar "a palavra justa" em cada frase, e de suas frequentes discussões e ideias sobre a literatura.

Non è il diario di una malattia, ma la testimonianza esatta che nessuno si salva da solo. A risuonare in queste pagine sono le voci degli altri. La voce di Angelina, che ha il piglio di una capobanda e tratta le altre pazienti con tenerezza.
