Just a side note: none of the characters in Thérèse Desqueyroux are particularly likable so you might balk at seeing Audrey Tautou in the title role but I also recommend the movie, both for the story and also to practice your French. Even an old atheist like me can find interesting questions to think about in a novel like Thérèse Desqueyroux. Mauriac is very much a Catholic writer but he explores the different aspects of his faith and doesn’t just accept them with an un-examined mind. It’s a lot more complex than that but the details should be more apparent if you read the novel yourself.
