2016 Reprint of 1952 Edition. "The Price of Salt" is Highsmith's only lesbian novel. She is best known for her Ripley detective novels. It is a fairly realistic look at lesbian life in the 1950s. Originally published under the pseudonym of Claire Morgan to protect Highsmith's identity, this novel tells the story of two women and a decision that each one had to make. "For Therese happiness meant risking her future, for Carol it meant sacrificing her past, and for neither could the happiness, if chosen, be assured, for it lay outside of convention, scorned by society, condemned by law."---From the cover flap. Unlike other lesbian novels of the time, this struck a positive note for the relationship, making it a political statement of sorts, and an enduring classic for this genre.

This may be the lesbian christmas story!
Patricia Highsmith captures the youth and innocence of Therese perfectly. Her writing style is so gentle and almost dreamy that you feel as if you're watching the whole thing right out of Therese's head. The characters in generaly are written so realistically that you'll fall for Carol too. Big big recommandation, if you read it during christmas time or whenever! This is the first lesbian novel with a (somewhat) happy end; where the solution isn't heterosexuality or suicide! (It was first published in 1952)
