The Price of Salt
Patricia Highsmith
Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Price Of Salt by Claire Morgan (pen name for Patricia Highsmith) explores a lesbian romance in a time when homosexuality was illegal in America, exploring themes of alienation, obsession and love.
What We Say: "A beautifully intricate and tender novel of forbidden romance by one of the greatest American writers of her generation. The characterisation and craft are expertly done, with such subtle delicacy and fortitude that Highsmith will play the strings of any reader's heart. It is her most personal novel, but its place in literary history cannot be overstated"— Jamie Styles
