The Price of Salt, or Carol by Patricia Highsmith Book Summary

"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, The Price of Salt (or 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. The Price of Salt is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work.

Truth. Before reading the book I felt as if through reading I would receive some sort of fairytale happy satisfaction, as to which I am used to, but I got something better, what I see as a new kind of literal amusement for me. I often wonder if the old saying and tactic of getting out of your comfort zone is rewarding. Now I for sure, at least when it comes to books anyway. Be patient is all I will say about the book, like Therese, I am of the youth generation and this book was different for me but nonetheless was it worth it. I enjoyed the very descriptive writing of Patricia, she gave you an idea of how things were back then. Great book. I will cherish forever and who knows. Maybe I will meet my very own carol, that is if she is willing to have me, or even call her mine.

A period piece. If you want to know what it was like to live in NYC in the 50s as a young creative girl. Nothing too tragic or too melodramatic. Two women who meet and fall in love with sad consequences. No one dies yet there are a lot of questions left unanswered. Back in the day when two women in love could not love openly especially when one of them is going through a divorce.

A must read!. A beautiful and thought provoking story. Only negative is that I read it too fast.
