Reading Madame Bovary (2010) is a collection of short stories by Australian author Amanda Lohrey. It won the Fiction Prize and Arts Queensland Steele Rudd Australian Short Story Award at the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards in 2011.
Carol Middleton in Overland was impressed by the stories: "Lohrey has a remarkable ability to be lyrical and profound while keeping both feet in the here and now of Australian life. For a ‘literary’ writer, she is refreshingly comfortable with the mundane minutiae of modern life (to-do lists and washing up) and, from there, teases out the themes and issues that lie beneath the surface of contemporary consciousness."
