Goed geschreven verhaal over een meisje van 19 in de jaren '50 in NY die verliefd wordt op een vrouw van begin 30 die in scheiding ligt. Leest als een spannende road story ( )
Een bijzonder boek over de liefde tussen twee vrouwen. Bijzonder door de manier waarop het is geschreven, maar ook omdat ik niet zo'n boek verwachtte van Patricia Highsmith. Ik vond het een plezier om te lezen (afgezien van het begin dat een beetje taai is). ( )

Happiness was like a green vine spreading through her, stretching fine tendrils, bearing flowers through her flesh.
She had seen just now what she had only sensed before, that the whole world was ready to be their enemy, and suddenly what she and Carol had together seemed no longer love or anything happy but a monster between them, with each of them caught in a fist.
I don't mean people like that. I mean two people who fall in love suddenly with each other, out of the blue. Say two men or two girls ... I suppose it could happen, though, to almost anyone, couldn't it?
They're not horrid. One's just supposed to conform. I know what they'd like, they'd like a blank they could fill in. A person already filled in disturbs them terribly.
Remember what you said about physics not applying to people? ... Well, I’m not sure you’re right ... Take friendships, for instance. I can think of a lot of cases where the two people have nothing in common. I think there’s a definite reason for every friendship just as there’s a reason why certain atoms unite and others don’t—certain missing factors in one, or certain present factors in the other—what do you think? I think friendships are the result of certain needs that can be completely hidden from both people, sometimes hidden forever.
