關於愛情的追求，和真正的幸福......讀來令人震顫，Patricia Highsmith具有特殊才能，偉大的作品。──The Sunday Times
當人生沒有愛情，就像沒有鹽的肉，妳願意為愛，為鹽，付出多少代價？
改編自原著The Price of Salt的電影Carol，一個關於穿着貂皮大衣，優雅的金髮女人（凱特白蘭琪主演）的故事，她困在不幸福的婚姻之中，與超市員工Therese（魯尼瑪拉飾演）邂逅，兩個孤獨的女人偶遇卻引爆軒然風波。那是1948年保守的年代，兩人在社會龐大的壓力下，屈服，還是聽從內心聲音？
最知名作品為《天才雷普利》的作者Patricia Highsmith，自述當年在百貨公司的洋娃娃專櫃看到一位優雅女性所產生的靈感，花兩個星期寫成本書，題材敏感，最初出版社都拒絕發行。首次出版於1952年，當時貼上「一部受社會禁止的愛的小說」「這本書很快會成為邪教經典」等不名譽標籤……現在看來，只是一部追求真愛的故事──只不過，性向不同。
Therese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when a beautiful, alluring woman in her thirties walks up to her counter. Standing there, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love. Therese is an awkward nineteen-year-old with a job she hates and a boyfriend she doesn't love; Carol is a sophisticated, bored suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce and a custody battle for her only daughter. As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol's world, she soon realizes how much they both stand to lose...
First published pseudonymously in 1952 as The Price of Salt, Carol is a hauntingly atmospheric love story set against the backdrop of fifties' New York.
