Mysterious disappearances, domestic cases, noiseless, bloodless
snuffings-out... the law can look as deep as it likes, but when the
crime itself goes unsuspected... oh yes, there's many a murderer
basking in the sun... When Therese Raquin is forced to marry the
sickly Camille, she sees a bare life stretching out before her,
leading every evening to the same cold bed and every morning to the
same empty day. Escape comes in the form of her husband's friend,
Laurent, and Therese throws herself headlong into an affair. There
seems only one obstacle to their happiness; Camille. They plot to
be rid of him. But in destroying Camille they kill the very desire
that connects them... First published in 1867, Therese Raquin has
lost none of its power to enthral. Adam Thorpe's unflinching
translation brings Zola's dark and shocking masterwork to life. A
NEW TRANSLATION BY ADAM THORPE 'Adam Thorpe's version deserves to
become the standard English text' Daily Telegraph
