Acquitted of the attempted murder of her husband, Thérèse escapes one prison only to find herself enclosed in another: a wretched life of envy and frustration. Beginning with the eponymous novel, and moving quickly through the novellas Thérèse and the Doctor and Thérèse at the Hotel to its harrowing terminus at The End of the Night, François Mauriac completes his emblem of "that power, granted to all human beings...of saying 'No' to the law which beats them down."
