[[File:raquin_9981.gif|frame|A guilty conscience will always confess, the novel.]]
One of the first novels of [[Émile Zola]], published in 1867 before he began his magnum opus, the ''Rougon-Macquart'' series, ''Thérèse Raquin'' tells the story of an adulterous young woman who kills her husband and marries her lover. [[It Got Worse|It doesn't go well.]]
Thérèse is the daughter of a French captain and an Algerian mother. Her father brings her to France to be brought up by his sister Madame Raquin alongside her son Camille, after which he is never seen again. Thérèse grows up extremely repressed because her desires are always secondary to Camille's demands, wishes, and physical limitations. When she is twenty-one, Madame Raquin marries her to Camille, a marriage without affection on both sides. Camille decides to move the family to Paris so he can start a career.
