Therese first glimpses Carol in the New York department store where she is working as a sales assistant. Carol is choosing a present for her daughter; she looks preoccupied, exuding an aura of elegance as perfect as a secret. Standing there at the counter, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love.

First published under a pseudonym in 1952, "Carol" is a love story told with compelling wit and eroticism.

This book is a real find from the 1950s, erotic without being sexually explicit.
