The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, Claire Morgan
5.0

Stunning. No, that isn't quite right. It was like a tide, both slow and strong that drew you in and subtly under. I kept thinking, "they [Therese and Carol] seem to not know each other very well, and to be very opposite" until the moment that they did and I couldn't picture them ever settling for being apart.
Reading the Afterward was very moving. Ms. Highsmith wrote of all the young men and women who, shyly yet fervently, wrote her letters to thank her for writing a true love same sex love story that didn't end tragically.
God, books are so important.
