Therese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when a beautiful, alluring woman in her 30s walks up to her counter. Standing there, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love. First published pseudonymously in 1952 as THE PRICE OF SALT, CAROL is a hauntingly atmospheric love story set against the backdrop of '50s New York.
