This classic lesbian novel, first published under a pseudonym and the title ''The Price of Salt'' back in 1952, has now been made into feature film by Todd Haynes and stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. This edition of the book to tie-in with the release of the film includes a new introduction by renowned lesbian crime writer Val McDermid.
Therese first glimpses Carol in the New York department store where she is working as a sales assistant. An awkward nineteen-year-old, loved by a young man she cares about, but does not desire, Therese suddenly feels wholly innocent and unprepared for the first shock of love. Carol is a sophisticated housewife in the throes of a divorce. As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol’s world, she soon realizes how much they both stand to lose. This classic lesbian novel is a love story told with compelling wit, eroticism, and consummate tenderness.
