erin1096 's review for:

Carol by Patricia Highsmith
5.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really loved it. A queer classic. Absolutely a product of it's time, but the characters still felt timeless and the writing style was effective nonetheless. Not for everyone, but the characters felt very real, and flawed in very real ways. I want to go read literary analyses of this book now.
