Overview

Carol es una novela de amor entre mujeres –publicada bajo el seudónimo de Claire Morgan, para no ser clasificada como una «escritora lesbiana»–, que se lee con la misma fascinada atención que despiertan las novelas «policíacas» de su autora. Highsmith concibió Carol en 1948, cuando tenía veintisiete años. Comienza con el encuentro entre Therese, una joven escenógrafa que trabaja accidentalmente como dependienta, y Carol, la elegante y sofisticada mujer, recientemente divorciada, que entra a comprar una muñeca para su hija y cambia para siempre el curso de la vida de la joven vendedora.

Carol is a love story between women that begins with the first encounter between Therese, a young stage designer who happens to work as a shop attendant, and Carol, an elegant, sophisticated and recently divorced woman who comes in to buy a toy for her daughter and forever changes the course of the life of the young shop attendant.
