But their dreamy, blissful adventure is sharply interrupted when Carol must make a difficult choice between her child and her lover.Patricia Highsmith is famous for penning thrillers like Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley, but her keen ability to create compelling characters and narratives truly shines in this oft-overlooked classic.
