Join the Our House LGBTQ+ Book Club as we discuss Carol by Patricia Highsmith.
Therese is just an ordinary sales assistant working in a New York department store when an alluring woman in her thirties walks up to her counter. Standing there, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love. She is an awkward nineteen-year-old with a job she hates and a boyfriend she doesn't love. Carol is a sophisticated, bored suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce and a custody battle for her only daughter. As Therese becomes irresistibly drawn into Carol's world, she soon realises how much they both stand to lose.
Whether you’ve read all or just some of the book, come along for a chat in cosy surroundings.
No need to book, just turn up!
