Why people recommend it
The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith is a psychological romance novel originally published under a pseudonym that details the intense connection between two women in 1950s New York. John Williams featured the book on The Book Review podcast, sharing a listener recommendation from Carrie Larson and noting that the novel served as the literary basis for the acclaimed film Carol. Jennifer Szalai also discussed the title on the podcast, expressing regret that the novel fell outside the chronological parameters of a specific reading project she had undertaken. Both commentators underscored the historical significance of Highsmith's work, which broke new ground by depicting a lesbian relationship with a hopeful conclusion rather than the tragic endings typical of mid-century fiction. The podcast segments highlighted how the book continues to resonate with contemporary audiences discovering its subtle prose and emotional depth. Through these discussions, Highsmith's landmark novel receives renewed appreciation as both a masterclass in psychological suspense and a vital milestone in LGBTQ+ literary history.
