Thérèse Desqueyroux was quickly acclaimed by the critics, the image of Albert Thibaudet's in theNew Europe : "What a temperament for a great novelist! Thérèse Desqueyroux is M. Mauriac's Phèdre... I don't think he ever wrote more beautiful pages... [...] qhe ones in which he shows Thérèse locked up. Technically, it is a masterpiece. The art of sacrifice could not be practised more masterfully. [...]. A nervous, fine, fair and pure sobriety... The erotic, sexual roots of family discord are explored here.." In 1950, this novel was included in the list of the 12 best novels of the half-century awarded by the World Press Association.r Le Figaro. It was also adapted for the cinema in 1962 by Georges Franju and in 2012 by Claude Miller.
