Sinossi
Therese, diciannove anni, è un'apprendista scenografa che, per raggranellare qualche soldo, accetta un lavoro temporaneo in un grande magazzino durante il periodo natalizio. Il suo rapporto sentimentale con Richard si trascina stancamente, senza alcuna passione tra voglia di coinvolgimento e desiderio di fuga. La vita le appare come una nebulosa, come un'enorme incognita che non sa affrontare, finché in una gelida mattina di dicembre, nel reparto giocattoli dove lavora, non compare una donna bellissima e sofisticata, in cerca di doni per la figlia. I grigi occhi della sconosciuta catturano Therese, la turbano e la soggiogano e d'un tratto la giovane si ritrova proiettata in un mondo di cui non sospettava nemmeno l'esistenza. È l'amore, delicato e titubante, languido e diverso, disperato e segnato da crisi e recriminazioni, eppur sempre sconvolgente come la vicenda che le due donne si apprestano a vivere...

UPDATED, December 3, 2015: Just saw Carol, the Todd Haynes film adaptation starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. Gorgeous looking, and very faithful to the book. The cinematographer captures the era beautifully, and Haynes plays a lot with windows and reflections in an effective way. Therese's pr Leggi tutto
Salt, as defined by Merriam-Webster: “…. an ingredient that gives savor, piquancy, or zest ”….; or, as it relates to this story, the price (sacrifice) these women paid to live their lives truthfully (hence, the book title, I’m guessing). I admired Highsmith’s nerve and honesty for tackling this lesb Leggi tutto
i never would have picked this up on my own, but list videos have a way of sneaking books that you've never heard of onto your tbr. this is the book that the beloved sapphic movie Carol is based on. and while i can't say that i adored my reading experience, i really did enjoy what this book was in th Leggi tutto
4 ½ stars “My Angel,” Carol said. “Flung out of space.” Fans of the film adaptation of Carol may find the novel to be not quite as polished or romantic. I, for one, find the novel’s elusiveness and opaqueness to be entrancing. Unlike other books by Highsmith Carol is not a thriller or a crime novel Leggi tutto
