"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.

今年大家都津津乐道的一场恋爱是这样的:百货商场工作的女孩特芮丝对来买洋娃娃的贵妇爱尔德太太一见钟情,寄了一张卡片给对方,然后接到了对方打来的电话。 这位H·G·爱尔德太太,就是卡罗尔。2015年,凯特·布兰切特用她演绎的卡罗尔征服了鲁妮·玛拉饰演的特芮丝,当然也...
评分【图文并茂版】http://www.douban.com/note/521007505/ 【多图】 【疯狂剧透】【剧透】 自从在电影院看到《卡罗尔》的预告后,就沉迷其中无法自拔了。一开始打算苦苦等电影出来不给自己剧透的,还是手贱把书读了。本来自己读英文很慢,慢慢悠悠看了两天才看了十分之一,...
3.5星。还算是值得一读吧,比同名电影在人物和情节线索上都丰富一些。然而遗憾是同样的,一个本可以更精彩更深入的女性故事,被写成了跟今天的少女们幻想被霸道总裁和高富帅爱上差不多的通俗小说,并且几乎没跟时代背景发生什么关系。语言的确不错,但一些精彩的描写被叙事上的啰嗦给淹没了。没读过作者的其他作品,不过仅就这一本来讲,我想说通俗作家就是通俗作家。
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1951年的作品,因为同性恋主题被一贯合作的出版社拒绝,换了家出版社才得以问世。Carol的出场很惊艳,但不知为什么Therese对她的一见钟情和执著还是无法触动我。直到快结尾时我都以为这是个"事如春梦了无痕"的故事,没想到居然HE了!结尾我喜欢,虽然表面写的是Therese的醒悟,而我看到的却是Carol对她深沉又炽热的爱。
评分Rooney把Therese演得太好了太好了!!第一次看的时候总觉得电影更美一些,第二次看才真切地体会到原著里Carol和Therese的感情。最爱Waterloo那段”She squeezed her shoulders hard, as if she were exacting a promise from her, or perhaps searching her to see if what she had said were real. Then she kissed Therese on the lips, as they had kissed a thousand times before.’Don't you know I love you?’Carol said. “
