Published in 1867, Thérèse Raquin is the novel which established Zola’s reputation as a writer who forensically explored the darker side of human nature.
Thérèse is a half Algerian orphan, brought up in provincial France by her aunt and married off to her sickly cousin Camille. His ambition takes the three of them to Paris, where they set up home in the dank and dingy backstreets that run down to the Seine. The relentless tedium of life for Thérèse is eventually broken by the presence of Camille’s unscrupulous friend Laurent, sparking a series of increasingly desperate acts.
Thérèse Raquin is a gritty and thought-provoking novel of sexual compulsion and its consequences on the lives of four people and a tabby cat.

Zola, along with Balzak are generally regarded as the fathers of French naturalism. Zola often stated that he sought his work to be as scientific and objective as possible. Thérèse Raquin, in esse appears to achieve these aims of realism well. The novel is a study into disposition. In every act (and I assume, these originally formed the four-part newspapers publication), loathing, lust, madness and depravity (my word choices - not an official characterisation), Thérèse and Laurent's tempraments viz the situation is carefully and without partiality analysed. A dark look at the effects of shared guilt.
