About the book

Émile Zola's Thérèse Raquin is a dark novel of passion, crime and psychological deterioration set largely in a cramped Parisian shop. Thérèse, trapped in an oppressive marriage to her sickly cousin Camille, begins an affair with his friend Laurent. Their attempt to escape their circumstances draws them into guilt, fear and mutual suspicion. Zola uses the story to explore desire, temperament and the destructive consequences of obsession.
