"Published in Great Britain under the title Carol."--T.p. verso.

Originally published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan.

This novel, arguably Patricia Highsmith's finest, was first published in 1952 under the pseudonym Claire Morgan. The Price of Salt tells the riveting story of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose salvation arrives one day in the form of Carol Aird, an alluring suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce. They fall in love and set out across the United States, pursued by a private investigator who eventually blackmails Carol into a choice between her daughter and her lover.
