'She looked like a woman condemned - even though her fellow-men had found her guiltless - condemned to an eternity of loneliness' Thérèse Desqueyroux walks free from court, acquitted of attempting to poison her husband. Everyone knew she'd tried to do it, but family honour was more important than the truth. As she returns to the gloomy forests of her home, Thérèse looks back over the marriage that brought her nothing but stifling darkness, and wonders, has she really escaped punishment or is it only just about to begin? François Mauriac's astonishing and daring novel is an unforgettable portrayal of a complex, fascinating woman trapped by provincial life. 'A great novel . . . the brilliance of its structure and the elegance of its prose never fail to take my breath away.' Beryl Bainbridge
