Struggling against the oppressive routines of their daily lives and the strict social norms governing mid-century femininity, the new lovers take to the open road where their new relationship can thrive. But their dreamy, blissful adventure is sharply interrupted when Carol must make a difficult choice between her child and her lover.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatricia Highsmith is famous for penning thrillers like \u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Talented Mr. Ripley\u003c\/i\u003e, but her keen ability to create compelling characters and narratives truly shines in this oft-overlooked classic. Published under a pseudonym in 1952, Highsmith's lyrical prose and sensitive, well-rounded treatment of lesbian characters marked a significant departure from the stereotyped lesbian pulp fiction that had historically dominated the marketplace. A work that demands our respect and attention, \u003ci\u003eThe Price of Salt\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest and profound meditation on love and the importance of following one's heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626543119\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.5 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.9810570659 Pounds, Width: 0.63 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patricia Highsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53576177123635,"sku":"9781626543119","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/2850263482767.jpg?v=1782799017","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-price-of-salt-or-carol","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
