Wikipedia article
'The Bad Girl', originally published in 2006 in Spanish as 'Travesuras de la nia mala' (literally - 'The mischief of the bad girl'), is a novel by Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010.
Journalist Kathryn Harrison approvingly argues that the book is a rewrite (rather than simply a recycling) of the French realist Gustave Flaubert's classic novel 'Madame Bovary' (1856). In Vargas Llosa's version, the plot relates the decades-long obsession of its narrator, a Peruvian expatriate, with a woman with whom he first fell in love when they were both teenagers.
