Trapped in a sexless marriage with her sickly cousin Camille, Therese Raquin embarks on an illicit, turbulent affair with her husband's friend Laurent, that leads to madness and a horrifying conculsion. Written in 1867, Émile Zola's seminal novel proved a literary sensation. Its honest and powerful portrayal of the overwhelming force of human desire remains shocking.
