Some books change lives. This is one of them . . . It has the drive of a thriller but the imagery of a romance . . . This is a book that is hard to set aside; it demands to be read late into the night with eyes burning and heart racing - Val McDermid Now a hugely acclaimed, six-times Oscar-nominated film by Todd Haynes, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.Therese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when an alluring woman in her thirties walks up to her counter.

As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol's world, she soon realises how much they both stand to lose . . .First published pseudonymously in 1952 as The Price of Salt, Carol is a hauntingly atmospheric love story set against the backdrop of fifties New York.

If you're like me, you know Patricia Highsmith from her Ripley crime novels. But Highsmith, writing under a pseudonym, also wrote this groundbreaking 1950s study of one woman’s sexual awakening. The release of the Hollywood adaptation, under the title “Carol,” has brought this often overlooked novel the attention it deserves. Even 60 years after its initial publication, “The Price of Salt” remains as relevant, powerful and compulsively readable as ever.The story centers around Therese, a 19-year-old aspiring set designer who suffers from a severe disconnect with the world around her and from her own identity. On the surface, she seems happy: She has a devoted boyfriend, Richard, and just got a temporary job at a department store to make some extra cash. But something’s missing from Therese’s life – something she herself can’t exactly define. (There’s a nice bit about the various ways to pronounce Therese’s name that sums up her confusion: “She was used to a dozen variations, and sometimes she herself pronounced it differently.”)Enter Carol, a mid-30-something upper-class housewife and mother who comes across as glamorous, beautifully unattainable, and moody. After they meet in the department store where Therese works, the two feel a “sudden release, that leap of response in both of them, as if their bodies were of some material which put together inevitably created desire.”As the first part of “The Price of Salt” traces Therese and Carol’s “will they or won’t they?” relationship and the second sends them on the lam, so to speak, on a cross-country road-trip, Highsmith’s background in crime fiction serves her well. It’s hard to tell if this is a love story or a thriller, there’s that much suspense. A shady detective, a conflicted boyfriend, and a mysterious friend from Carol's past all add to the tension.Like the best of Highsmith's novels, "The Price of Salt" doesn't shy away from the more problematic aspects of its own story. For instance, the age difference between the main characters is mentioned a number of times. (Imagine if this novel were about a heterosexual relationship between a man in his mid-30s and a 19-year-old girl.) The novel also explores Highsmith’s preoccupation with identity and, in this case, love's apparent contradiction: even as Therese finds her true self, she loses her identity in Carol's or, as Therese reflects, "she felt like an actor, remembered only now and then her identity with a sense of surprise, as if she had been playing in these last few days the part of someone else, someone fabulously and excessively lucky" in love.In the end, this shouldn't be categorized as a lesbian love story. It's a beautifully realized and meditative novel of one young woman finding the courage to "plunge headlong" into life and love. That's something anyone can relate to.
