"A great American writer…Highsmith's writing is wicked…it puts a spell on you." ―Entertainment Weekly
Now a major motion picture.
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, 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. Carol is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work.
This authorized edition includes an afterword by Patricia Highsmith. Previously titled The Price of Salt.

评分 评分 评分Homosexual can be understandable. True love is never easy. That's the price of salt.
评分一开始觉得两人的恋爱中扮演太多母女的角色了 以致有些不适。但后来想想人只要能和自己和解就好。欣慰地看到最终两人的power dynamic趋于平衡,Therese终于不再把carol当做完美的神崇敬,而是一个有血有肉的平常人来爱了。
评分看过电影再看的原著,演员真的太牛逼了,看书全程无障碍代入她们的脸。书里的carol一说话,凯特女王的低沉磁性音就自动在脑子里面浮现了。
评分Loves so much so it can only be u
评分A solid beautiful love story. Not a big fan of the film adaptation, but the novel captures the painful delicate aches of love and the bittersweet triumph in growing up. The 50s, what can I say more; lesbian chic, you've got to love it.
