Patricia Highsmith All Books Editorial Review
"The Price of Salt," written by Patricia Highsmith in the early 1950s, tells the story of Therese Belivet, a young woman working at a department store who becomes intrigued by a well-dressed customer named Carol. What starts as a chance meeting quickly turns into a deep and forbidden love affair, as both women navigate the obstacles and challenges that come with being in a same-sex relationship in a time of social intolerance. The novel is elegantly written, with a poetic melancholy that draws readers in and keeps them turning the pages. The characters are well-developed and the story is filled with emotional and suspenseful moments.
