5.0 out of 5 stars Still relevant today, Aug 12 2002

By	S. Calhoun "rhymeswithorange" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although this book was first published in the early 1950's the majority of issues that both Therese and Carol confront are still applicable today. Sure, times have changed and we all want to believe that within the past five decades we, as a society, have become more enlightened about homosexuality but unfortunately there is still more room for improvement.

"The Price of Salt" is a moving story about the developing love between Therese and Carol that heightens during a road trip through America. What I was impressed with most was how the author paid little attention to the love scenes and rather focused on the emotions and desires that they shared with each other. Let's face it, most lesbian love scenes in books are less than fulfilling or satisfying and frequently are better left off the manuscript entirely. Also, there was no mention of the word "lesbian" throughout the entire book which is probably accountable to the time period it was written but nonetheless notable and admirable.

Overall, this book is a good read and I would recommend it to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books (any genre) I've ever read, Jul 25 2002

By A Customer

I can't stress how elegant and moving the writing is in this book. I've read it three times now, and each time I think that it doesn't even matter what the plot is, her fluid and unique style would carry any story. It also helps that I can identify with this plot on so many levels, especially the intensity of Therese's feelings for Carol. This book is like the best bottle of wine you've ever had, you just want it to keep flowing and not to ever end.
