About this listen
A chance encounter between two lonely women leads to a passionate romance in this lesbian cult classic. Therese, a struggling young sales clerk, and Carol, a homemaker in the midst of a bitter divorce, abandon their oppressive daily routines for the freedom of the open road, where their love can blossom. But their newly discovered bliss is shattered when Carol is forced to choose between her child and her lover.
Highsmith's sensitive treatment of fully realized characters who defy stereotypes about homosexuality marks a departure from previous lesbian pulp fiction. Erotic, eloquent, and suspenseful, this story offers an honest look at the necessity of being true to one's nature.
The Price of Salt is the basis for the upcoming film Carol, starring Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, and Kyle Chandler, to be released December 18, 2015.

Exceptional
The story is absolutely exceptional; beautifully written and engaging. The story truly captures the heart of love and romance. Overpowering, all consuming, wonderful, and delicate, yet at the same time able to destroy and devastate.
The narration is excellent as well.

Oh the YEARNING!
This was a bittersweet listen about being a queer woman in the 1950's. It was an easy listen and I swooned over the yearning, but I just wanted to know more about the main character. Her personality is that she loves Carol and I had a hard time connecting with her because of that. Overall, I enjoyed this classic and look forward to watching the movie.
