Therese Raquin
By Nicholas Wright
A dingy apartment over a haberdashery shop in a poor part of Paris forms the backdrop to this domestic tragedy. Therese is trapped in a tedious marriage to her sickly cousin Camille, and is watched over by her oppressive mother-in-law. Their family friends, Grivet, an office supervisor, Michaud, a retired police inspector, and Suzanne, his niece, visit regularly and add to the sense of impoverished gentility. But when Therese meets Laurent, something is unleashed that drives them ultimately to commit a crime that will haunt them forever.
