Цена соли by Claire Morgan

Set in 1950s New York, a young shop clerk becomes enthralled with an elegant, married woman, and their attraction leads to a cross-country journey shadowed by a private investigator hired during a bitter custody dispute. Under pressure from social stigma and legal threats, both women grapple with the costs of honesty and desire, weighing security and motherhood against the pursuit of a life lived truthfully, and arriving at a tentative yet hopeful chance for love.
