Carol -V2*
Carol es una novela de amor entre mujeres que, se. lee con la misma fascinada atención que despiertan las novelas policíacas de su autora. Therese, una joven escenógrafa trabaja accidentalmente como vendedora, y Carol, una elegante y sofisticada mujer, recién divorciada, entra a comprar una muñeca para su hija y cambia para siempre el curso de la vida de la joven vendedora. Construida como una novela de suspense, está llena de páginas de tensa calma rotas por repentinas y ominosas alarmas, y éstas son más frecuentes y más emocionantes que en las novelas policíacas de Patricia Highsmith. Carol fue la primera novela de tema homosexual que no terminaba trágicamente, pero la fragilidad de la felicidad es un subtema que impregna las páginas del libro; para Highsmith, la idea de felicidad está indisolublemente unida a la de peligro.

Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 – February 4, 1995) was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories throughout her career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing derived influence from existentialist literature, and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene. Her first novel, *Strangers on a Train*, has been adapted for stage and screen, the best known being the Alfred Hitchcock film released in 1951. Her 1955 novel *The Talented Mr. Ripley* has been adapted for film. Writing under the pseudonym **Claire Morgan**, Highsmith published the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, *The Price of Salt*, in 1952, republished 38 years later as Carol under her own name and later adapted into a 2015 film. **Source**: [Patricia Highsmith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith) on Wikipedia
