Overview

Now a major motion picture starring Rooney Mara and Cate BlanchettA sensual tale of forbidden love, sensuality, and romance, Carol tells the story of Therese, a young sales clerk, and her passionate affair with Carol, a housewife embroiled in a bitter divorce. The two lonely women find something rare and remarkable in each other: freedom from their oppressive daily routines and dreary lives. Together they triumphantly leave to ride into the sunset, but a difficult choice between romantic and familial love brings everything to a sudden, grinding halt.Applauded for a sensitive and nuanced treatment of characters that defies the stereotypes and myths surrounding homosexuality, Carol is a groundbreaking American novel. With this book, Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley) broke from the canned traditions of lesbian pulp to create a truly beautiful and complex work of fiction. Thrilling, sensual, and honest, Carol is a first-rate novel about love and self-discovery.
