內容簡介
"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.

電 影原著《鹽的代價》（The Price of Salt）是《天纔雷普利》作者派翠西亞·海史密斯在1952年匿名發錶的中篇小說，直到40年後她纔承認自己是作者。故事講述年輕女孩特芮絲在紐約 之都追逐戲劇錶演夢想，卻隻能在百貨公司做售貨員。某日她和身陷婚姻危機的金發中年 主婦卡羅爾在百貨公司偶遇，對現狀和環境都感到絕望的兩人開始書信往返、電報傳情，甚至公路旅行，終發現彼此找到瞭真愛。然而在當時社會（50年代美 國）這是不被允許的，特芮絲的男友認為她隻是一時迷惘，卡羅爾的丈夫則請私傢偵探調查取證，希望在離婚訴訟讓中卡羅爾一無所有。考驗兩位女性的時刻終於到 來：在強大的社會壓迫下她們能否堅守內心，不計代價的把感情路走到底？
“他說，現在換你許願瞭。特芮絲暗自許瞭個願，她的願望就是卡羅爾。”當年派翠西亞隻是因為在百貨公司的洋娃娃專櫃看到一位優雅女性，於是花兩個星期寫成 瞭《鹽的代價》。由於題材敏感，初還被齣版社拒絕發行。作為美國心理驚悚作傢，派翠西亞的代錶作《天纔雷普利》和《火車怪客》都曾被搬上銀幕，然而 《鹽的代價》並不是驚悚題材，它隻是關於追求另一種真愛的故事。為什麼叫“鹽的代價”？因為在17世紀“鹽”還有另一個意思錶示女性的情欲。而在本 書中它隱喻瞭女主們的處境：沒有愛情就像沒有鹽的肉；那麼為瞭這份愛，你願意付齣多少代價?

媒體推薦

“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)
