ספר מעולה! הגעתי אליו בזכות אזכור בספר החדש של סטיבן קינג "בילי סאמרס", שעוקב אחר רוצח שכיר חובב ספרות.
*סקירה כוללת ספויילרים*
תרז ראקן, הוא סיפורם של תרז ולורן, שני אוהבים שזוממים יחדיו להרוג את בעלה של תרז כדי שיוכלו להתאחד ולממש את אהבתם.
למרות שהתוכנית פועלת, שניהם נרדפים על ידי ייסורי מצפון והזיות על הנפטר שפוקד אותם בחלומותיהם ולא מאפשר להם לישון.
במהירות, הנפש של כל אחד מהם מתערערת, והם נכנסים לסחרור שהם לא מצליחים לעצור, המלווה בהפיכת התשוקה הבוערת שלהם לשנאה יוקדת.
ספר קטן ומשובח על הנפש האנושית ומורכבותה, כתוב ביד אומן. מומלץ בחום.

This book is part of my 2015 reading challenge
I don’t know where to start with this review. This book was not just horrifying, but also depressing and very dark in a good way, if that makes any sense. This is my first book written by Émile Zola and I really was impressed.
This book is about Therese, who is stuck in a loveless marriage with her cousin and takes on a lover, her husband’s friend, Laurent. Together they kill her husband so they can live happily ever after together. What they didn’t expect was the guilt of their crime.
In the beginning of the story Therese and Laurent is passionately in love and it is extremely interesting to see how their strong and passionate love turns into something ugly and dark the longer the story continuous. It isn’t first after they murder of the husband the real horror story begins. This story is about what guilt can do to the human psyche.
This is not a murder mystery this is a psychological drama where you as a reader slowly go mad alongside the characters.
Zola is an amazing writer! I was hooked from the start. I do recommend this book to all that love to read classics.

This was pretty good to start with, but was really starting to drag towards the end. It seemed to go on for much longer than its 200 or so pages, and probably wouldn't have suffered too much from losing 30 pages or so...
This was a quick listen, narrated by the superb [a:Kate Winslet|594944|Kate Winslet|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png] from audible's a-list collection. I can see where at the time of publication of this novel, it would have been groundbreaking. The after effects of a horrible action take their toll and we see the deterioration of the characters. This plot has been revisited many times since and there really wasn't anything that surprised or shocked me about this novel. However, it is a well written classic.
