Synopsis "Carol "

THE PRICE OF SALT (1952) is a romance novel by Patricia Highsmith, written under the pseudonym Claire Morgan. The author – known as a suspense writer following the publication of her previous book, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN – became notorious due to the story's latent lesbian content and happy ending, the latter having been unprecedented in homosexual fiction. THE PRICE OF SALT was an inspiration for Nabokov’s LOLITA.

She was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, but moved to New York when she was six years old. By the age of sixteen, she became a writer. She was known for being a solitary person. She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York. Her first novel Strangers on a Train, was turned into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.
