Relectura. Me reafirmo en que Carol es una de las más bellas historia de amor de la literatura universal. Me reafirmo en que Patricia Highsmith es una genia, una maestra, una diosa.

Da igual los años que pasen y los que yo tenga, los libros de Highsmith emocionan siempre.

This is a fine novel, Patricia Highsmith's second, an early example of lesbian fiction that doesn't end with death or forced heterosexuality or worse. I look forward to seeing the recent film adaptation, and it was easy for me to see Cate Blanchett as Carol as I read.

My small gay heart is so happy and satisfied right now. This is honestly one of the best books I’ve read.
