A solid read and very literary. It just dragged in parts, but the insight into same sex loving characters of the past was extraordinary.

A compelling and elegantly-written tale about clandestine love in a patriarchal society. Therese is a lively protagonist and Carol is appropriately complex and mysterious. Highsmith writes some great prose--will definitely be checking out more of her work in the future.
