zzstacks 's review for:

The Price of Salt, or Carol by Patricia Highsmith

4.0

---

I really liked this book, but after talking to a friend of mine who had some gripes, I am definitely thinking on its portrayal of lesbianism and the harm that the story might bring. I did love the writing, I found it very moving, and I think for 1952 this novel is revolutionary. But perhaps my opinion will change as I read more about the novel and when I finally watch the movie "Carol."
