The Desert of Love explores the psychological and physical torments of a father and his son, as well as the woman they both fall in love with. For Dr. Courrèges, Maria Cross represents an opportunity to escape banality and live a life of passion; for his son Raymond, possessing Maria is the final step into adulthood. Maria herself is one of Mauriac's most fascinating protagonists: the mistress of an influential businessman in Bordeaux, a grieving mother of her only son, and a woman of immense passion and strength. Through these three characters, Mauriac weaves a captivating narrative of human desire, culminating in a subtly brilliant conclusion.
