内容简介
"A great American writer…Highsmith's writing is wicked…it puts a spell on you." ―Entertainment Weekly

Now to be a major motion picture.

Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century. First published in 1952 and touted as "the novel of a love that society forbids," the book soon became a cult classic.

Based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life, Carol tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany―the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. Therese begins to gravitate toward the alluring suburban housewife, who is trapped in a marriage as stultifying as Therese's job. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation. Carol is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work.

This authorized edition includes an afterword by Patricia Highsmith. Previously titled The Price of Salt.

电 影原著《盐的代价》（The Price of Salt）是《天才雷普利》作者派翠西亚·海史密斯在1952年匿名发表的中篇小说，直到40年后她才承认自己是作者。故事讲述年轻女孩特芮丝在纽约 之都追逐戏剧表演梦想，却只能在百货公司做售货员。某日她和身陷婚姻危机的金发中年 主妇卡罗尔在百货公司偶遇，对现状和环境都感到绝望的两人开始书信往返、电报传情，甚至公路旅行，终发现彼此找到了真爱。然而在当时社会（50年代美 国）这是不被允许的，特芮丝的男友认为她只是一时迷惘，卡罗尔的丈夫则请私家侦探调查取证，希望在离婚诉讼让中卡罗尔一无所有。考验两位女性的时刻终于到 来：在强大的社会压迫下她们能否坚守内心，不计代价的把感情路走到底？
“他说，现在换你许愿了。特芮丝暗自许了个愿，她的愿望就是卡罗尔。”当年派翠西亚只是因为在百货公司的洋娃娃专柜看到一位优雅女性，于是花两个星期写成 了《盐的代价》。由于题材敏感，初还被出版社拒绝发行。作为美国心理惊悚作家，派翠西亚的代表作《天才雷普利》和《火车怪客》都曾被搬上银幕，然而 《盐的代价》并不是惊悚题材，它只是关于追求另一种真爱的故事。为什么叫“盐的代价”？因为在17世纪“盐”还有另一个意思表示女性的情欲。而在本 书中它隐喻了女主们的处境：没有爱情就像没有盐的肉；那么为了这份爱，你愿意付出多少代价?

媒体推荐

“A document of persecuted love―perfect.” (The Independent)

“About the pursuit of love, and true happiness…It has characters who laugh, and who laugh without scorn or illusion…very recognizably Highsmith, full of tremor and of threat and of her peculiar genius for anxiety.” (The Sunday Times)
