“A NEW DEPARTURE”
HERE IS A NOVEL, utterly sincere and honest, which deals with a subject until recently considered taboo. Now a young woman, Claire Morgan, comes along and writes of unsanctioned love from a completely new point of view. As the Louisville Times says: “The Price of Salt”…seems to mark a new departure in this type of fiction…Claire Morgan is completely natural. She has a story to tell and she tells it with an almost conversational ease. Her people are neither degenerate monsters nor fragile victims of the social order. They must-and do-pay a price for thinking, feeling and loving “differently;” but they are courageous and true to themselves throughout. . This low-priced Bantam book, complete and unabridged, is made possible by the large sale and effective promotion of the original edition, published by Coward-McCann, Inc.
