Carol [WorldCat Entities]

"Publié en 1952 par Patricia Highsmith (sous un pseudonyme), ce roman pudique fit cependant scandale à cause de son sujet - l'homosexualité féminine - et aussi parce qu'il a une fin heureuse. Postface de l'auteure, écrite en 1983."
"Therese is nineteen - loved by a man she cares about, but cannot desire. It is in the Christmas rush of Frankenburg's toy department that she first meets Carol, a sophisticated married woman, buying gifts for her daughter."@en
"Een gescheiden vrouw gaat een relatie aan met een jong meisje, dat geheel in haar ban raakt."
"Mystery fiction. Detective and mystery stories. Therese first glimpses Carol in the New York department store where she is working as a sales assistant. Carol is choosing a present for her daughter; she looks preoccupied, exuding an aura of elegance as perfect as a secret. Standing there at the counter, Therese suddenly feels wholly innocent - wholly unprepared for the first shock of love. Therese was nineteen, and loved by a young man she cared about, but could not desire. Carol was a sophisticated married woman. Now Therese seemed to have no other purpose to her life other than their meeting? First published under a pseudonym in 1952, Carol is a love story told with compelling wit and eroticism, and consummate tenderness."
