Thérèse Raquin

I completed this one the other day. It has been a strange week, equally disoriented by the brief visit from Joel and then the ongoing holiday. I had to admit i was disappointed by this first major work from Zola, lost was broad pacing and meditative dialogue that I so enjoyed in Germinal. I kept thinking with Therese Ranquin that Cain certainly surpassed it with The Postman Always Rings Twice.

We are home and I hoped to read for a few hours. Happy holidays, good people.
