Gustave Flaubert's first published novel (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

madame bovary

(Other definitions for madame bovary that I've seen before include "Book by Flaubert" , "novel title" , "Flaubert novel of adultery" , "Flaubert's frustrated heroine" , "Emma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
