Details
Therese Raquin is a red-blooded and sinister tale of adultery, murder, and remorse among the lower orders of Parisian Society. Zola's novel scandalised 19th Century France by presenting characters who transcended and broke the contemporary moral code. The plot charts Therese's journey as a young woman trapped by circumstance, driven to find escape and release through desperate action and fatal attraction, only to find that the noose has tightened even further.
