The Price of Salt, or Carol by Patricia Highsmith

3.0

Wanted to read it before I saw the movie. Lovely writing. Definitely felt the 1950s. Found the characters interesting and the relationship believable. Liked the growth arc of Therese. She never shied away from who she was or what she felt, but you could still watch her evolving from uncertainty to confidence. Carol reminded me of Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate. Seemingly in control but coming up against things she couldn't control and, therefore, vulnerable.
