ReviewsAbout the pursuit of love, and true happiness...It has characters who laugh, and who laugh without scorn or illusion...very recognizably Highsmith, full of tremor and of threat and of her peculiar genius for anxiety.
Synopsis"A great American writer...Highsmith's writing is wicked...it puts a spell on you." -- Entertainment Weekly Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century. First published in 1952 and touted as "the novel of a love that society forbids," the book soon became a cult classic. Based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life, The Price of Salt (or Carol ) tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany--the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. Therese begins to gravitate toward the alluring suburban housewife, who is trapped in a marriage as stultifying as Therese's job. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation. The Price of Salt is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work., Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century.

Movie, Carol, made from this book, The Price of Salt
Loving the movie, Carol, I wanted the book. After reading the book, I would have wanted to see the movie. A book detailing the uncertainty of finding, keeping love and happiness between two women. I want this ending.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great book.
Great book. I got it after watching the film Carol. It is way better to read sometimes, rather than just sticking to the film adaptation.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
