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, 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.

阅读快感来自一种非母语的语言。 节奏驾驭非常精彩，让我几乎一口气看完。

看电影的时候，感官都被鲁尼塑造的Terease吸引了，反而没有太注意Carol的人物性格，总觉得这个人完美得不真实。看完书之后，虽然同样是以Terease为主导的描写，但从她眼里看到的Carol比电影更生动。小说结尾配合电影配乐Crossing一起，起一身鸡皮疙瘩。
