About the Author
Patricia Highsmith (1921–1995) was the author of more than twenty novels, including Strangers on a Train, The Price of Salt, The Blunderer and The Talented Mr. Ripley, as well as numerous short stories.
"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.

看完原著後的恍然。 《Carol》電影是好的,兩位女主的選擇是傳說中前無後無那種的,但對於這個故事錶現而言也真是局限的。在愛情這個隆重的前提下,Carol和Therese是絕對的平等,與年齡無關,非要扯上經曆的話,講真也跟經曆沒幾毛錢關係。誰也不比誰多嫻熟,多技巧。她們在遇...

一開始覺得兩人的戀愛中扮演太多母女的角色瞭 以緻有些不適。但後來想想人隻要能和自己和解就好。欣慰地看到最終兩人的power dynamic趨於平衡,Therese終於不再把carol當做完美的神崇敬,而是一個有血有肉的平常人來愛瞭。

評分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.
