"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.

評分 評分 評分看小说时总是免不了想这是本好小说还是本糟糕的。不过,一本书看的我坐地铁坐过站两次,我还要说差的话也太矫情了。但看salt的时候,又总是想起粤剧里那些才子佳人大团圆结局的戏,不管原著里霍小玉是不是吐血而亡,李慧娘是不是魂飞魄散,反正上了舞台都会有编剧贴心的大团圆...

评分I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched,and you are raining down upon me.
评分What a beautiful story. Flung out of space.
评分Loves so much so it can only be u
评分最吸引我的可能是兩個人的蛻變瞭。彼此不知道自己將要成為什麼樣的女人。這對於任何人來說,無論男女應該都是一個永恒的課題。但成長對於女人來說是課題,對男人來說是嗎?「我居然想不到一對gay來驗證我的想法」兩個人相愛讓彼此變得更好。然後看完的瞬間就去買瞭一個之前就想要的包。煙酒香水化妝品加禮帽絲巾手套高跟鞋=一個緻命女人=鹽本鹽。小說後麵的結局我不喜歡,Carol本人比電影裏演的還要冷靜有魅力。但是電影真的改編到值得五星。
