A BEAUTIFUL NEW QUARTERBOUND EDITION OF THE BELOVED, CLASSIC LOVE STORYTherese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when a beautiful, alluring woman in her thirties walks up to her counter. Standing there, shy, inexperienced Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love. Therese is an awkward, dissatisfied nineteen-year-old with a job she hates and a boyfriend she doesn''t love; Carol is a sophisticated, bored suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce and a custody battle for her only daughter. As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol''s world, she soon realizes how much they both stand to lose...First published pseudonymously in 1952 as The Price of Salt, Carol is a hauntingly atmospheric story of forbidden yearning, heartbreak and potency of desire, set against the backdrop of fifties'' New York.
