DESCRIPTION:
Transcendent Transcendently observant, this book is simply written but somehow mesmerising. I couldn't put this book down. Beautiful.. Marina Heck said but nevertheless the book is very written and it is a beautiful. The story is certainly dated, but nevertheless the book is very written and it is a beautiful story. Lara said the discovery of love. Please. This is a very well written novel. The youthful passion is evident, the discovery of love. Please, let no one call this a lesbian novel, it is just a love story, an intense, almost painfully frustrating love story. The ending is so masterful in its understated, symbolic force. It grips the reader with the anxiety of recovering a love that is already lost, but miraculously returned to life by the power of a glance.
Erotic, eloquent, and suspenseful, this story offers an honest look at the necessity of being true to one's nature. Highsmith's sensitive treatment of fully realized characters who defy stereotypes about homosexuality marks a departure from previous lesbian pulp fiction. Therese, a struggling young sales clerk, and Carol, a homemaker in the midst of a bitter divorce, abandon their oppressive daily routines for the freedom of the open road, where their love can blossom. Read by Cassandra Campbell A chance encounter between two lonely women leads to a passionate romance in this lesbian cult classic. But their newly discovered bliss is shattered when Carol is forced to choose between her child and her lover. ''The Price of Salt'' is the basis for the upcoming film Carol, starring Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, and Kyle Chandler, to be released November 20, 2015.
