The book was originally published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan due to its controversial nature at the time.The film stars Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, and Kyle Chandler. Set in 1952 in New York City, the film tells the story of a young aspiring photographer and her relationship with an older woman going through a difficult divorce.Compare with Desert Hearts, another lesbian romance adapted from a novel and set in the 1950s.

Adaptation Expansion: The book was written from the point of view of Therese. The movie expands that so we get scenes from Carol's point of view giving more time to her and the characters around her.

Adaptational Job Change: In the book, Therese's aspiration was to be a set designer for theater. In the movie, it's completely changed to photography and she gets a job at a newspaper reflecting that.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication

comment
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the book, Therese has a Missing Mom who was abusive and neglectful and dumped her in an orphanage. This is the basis for much of her personality. Therese's family life is not even alluded to in the movie, leaving her something of a blank. The change was probably to avoid the implication that the lack of a strong mother figure made Therese a lesbian; the book strongly implies this is the case.

Accidental Hand Hold: At a diner that they stop at to eat breakfast just after starting their road trip, Therese tries to snap a shot of Carol. Carol puts her hands up saying she's a "fright" and Therese brings one back down saying she looks amazing. Carol notices their hands touching on the table and smirks, while Therese awkwardly lets go.
