Carol or The Price of Salt

Published by Diogenes as Carol

Original Title: The Price of Salt

Carol is the only novel by Patricia Highsmith about a fulfilled love, a love perceived as happiness rather than a wicked delusion. Never again would the author, who began to work on this novel in the wake of a personal encounter, write such sensuous, poetic and erotic prose.

Val McDermid

»Some books change lives. This is one of them. This is a book that is hard to set aside; it demands to be read late into the night with eyes burning and heart racing.«

Graham Greene

»Highsmith created a world of her own, claustrophobic and irrational, which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger.«

Mail on Sunday, London

»Magnificent – gently exploratory, genuinely moving.«

Sunday Times, London

»Very recognizably Highsmith, full of tremor and of threat and of her peculiar genius for anxiety.«

Independent, London

»A document of persecuted love – perfect.«

Financial Times, London

»An original, honest novel, a remarkable imaginative achievement by any standard [...] as compelling as any of Highsmith’s thrillers. Memorable.«
