Carol

Carol, Patricia Highsmith's ground breaking lesbian novel originally released in 1952 as the The Price Of Salt under the pseudonym Claire Morgan.

Perhaps the best thing about this novel is that it has a positive and uplifting ending, definitely something that is missing in a lot of LGBTQ literature I have read (mainly misery, loneliness and death). However, I won't lie, it is dull in places and is definitely saved by the Thelma and Louiseish act 2, which is all posh sausages, martinis and private detectives.

Easy read, charming, dullish but worth it. (probably have that on my tombstone)
