Jeannine,

The story of Philippa and Aurelie.

Sometime in the last century, two women living on the coast of France, in Brittany, loved each other.

They had no other models of such a thing, so they chose this solution: one of them posed as a man for most of their life together; they were married, adopted a child, and were very happy together.

The one who posed as a man was lost at sea, ad a statue was erected to her, symbolising all the collective losses suffered by their small town.

Many years later, when it was known that she had in fact been a woman, the statue was destroyed by angry and frightened people.

This legend is still told in Brittany.

Dorothy,

From the tale of Shannon Pearl, the crazy, brooding albino child who, 'had she been stronger or smarter would have been dangerous' to the tragedy of Aunt Cora, who 'packed up biscuits, cold chicken and Coca Cola' and left home with her 4 gorls, Dorothy Allison casts an unblinking eye over the poor 'white trash' people of the American South.

Drawing on her own background, the stories and poems in Trash also form a remarkable confessional portrait of Allison herself, a lesbian, whose flight from her own violent, abusive family upbrining brought a hard-won but exhilarating emotional and sexual freedom.

Raw, chillingly honest and inspiring, she writes with unforgettable force and vision.

American life from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. These were years of upheaval and change for the whole Western world. Morals, codes, taboos were tossed into the air, examined in mid flight, and seen to land in the most surprising places.

Lisa Alther brings those years to life through the eyes of five 'heroes' (Sally, Emily, Raymond, Jed and Donny). We meet them first in childhood when their lives are as tightly entangled as the roots of the giant tree which is at the heart of their play and of their fantasies.

With tremendous skill, and brilliantly sustained nerve, Lisa Alther shifts us into the lived realities of five Americans, into the worlds of South and North, poor and rich, black and white, male and female, weaving together vastly different threads which make up the rich complex called America.

But as Roches Ridge draws Clea into its rhythms, it reveals a morass of increasingly bizarre imperfections beneath its picture-perfect surface: less rural idyll than 'Cold Comfort Farm'. And gradually, Clea is forced to examine the reality behind her own illusions...

Carol,

With striking ingenuity, Aquamarine explores the intricate ways early choices, made impulsively or agonisingly, reverberates throughout a life.

On the verge of turning forty in 1990, Jesse Austin's three equally plausible lives are shown in triptych: married, pregnant, living in her home town of New Jerusalem, Missouri and having an illicit affair with a maverick skywriter almost half her age; lesbian English professor in New York bringing her lover back to Missouri on a visit; divorced mother of two, running a down-and-out swimming academy in Venus Beach, Florida.

Each is haunted by the moment she can't get back to, the moment hidden behind the aquamarine, when she lost the gold medal for the hundred-metre freestyle at the 1968 Olympics to a fatally seductive Australian swimmer named Marty Finch.

Straddling the Mason-Dixon Line since before the Civil War is Runnymede. And it seems that ever since then, most people in the town have been inherently split: between good and bad, or love and sex, or male and female, or politics and sobriety.

Nicole (Nickel) Smith is in such a dilemma herself - here she is, an avowed lesbian, having an affair that would shock Runnymedeas much as it shocks nickel herself.

And her work seems to be going to the dogs, too, when the beloved newspaper where she is an editor is put up for for sale. thank goodness the weekly bingo games still go on, though Nickel is a little weary of playing referee there for the flamboyant Hunsenmeir sisters, Louise and Julia, Nickels momma, who are now pushing ninety but clawing like cats over handsome newcomer Ed Tutweiler Walters.

A parade of townsfolk and kin weave their colourful way through the trails, tribulations, and ultimate triumphs of our heroines, in this spirited novel of the South that appears as much to the funny bone as to the heart.

Her life had taken a sudden turn when out of the blue she received a call from her ex after many years asking her to be the maid of honour at her wedding.

As all her feelings and emotions came rushing back it was all she could do to stay calm, she reluctantly said yes when all she wanted to do was scream NO!

It was late one evening on a mountain in Colorado when her life was changed, and not even her past could hurt her now, it was the future she was more afraid of. The only thing that felt real and right was how wonderful she felt being with this woman wrapped in her arms making love.

From a houseboat in key west to a home in the mountains, would the love they had for one another be strong enough to keep them together through all that was about to happen? Things seemed to be going good, maybe too good, until the phone rang...

Clemence,

(Winifred Ashton),

 

Introduction by Alison Hennegan - Lesbian Landmarks Series Editor.

In a small English town, just before the Great War, battle rages over Alwynne Durand, an appealing but dangerously inexperienced young teacher. Two women struggle to win her love and loyalty....

Elsbeth, her fiercly protective aunt, and the formidable Clare Hartill. A brilliantly charismatic teacher, feverishly adored, Clare's power is great - her abuse of it is greater. Greedy for love, but incapable of returning it, she compulsively destroys the affections of those she most needs...

Clemence Dane, the pen-name of Winifred Ashton (1888-1965), began her career as an actress, taught schoolgirls, sculpted professionally and wrote some of the most successful novels of the inter-war years. Regiment of Women was an immediate bestseller on publication in 1917.

Virago Lesbian Landmarks Series: Lesbian Landmarks is a proud series that celebrates the history of lesbian writing. Each title, from previous centuries or decades, has its own claim to our attention.

A memorable character whose identity is more than the sum of the bars she has cruised and the women she has fucked. Usurping and enriching a male myth, she comes to an acute understanding of what it is to see oneself as an individual.

Around two likeable women - Cordelia and Laurie - circulate noisy, opinionated friends, children, siblings, most of whom share their fascination with place, with creativity, with richly varied human relationships, and with vital, exhilarating questions about 'the taste of freedom' that underpins everything.

Cordelia is newly widowed. laurie is the mother of two lively children. Each has known and lost love. Each is cautious. yet the gift of their deepening affection, and their willingness to accept the challenge of that, allows them to find a new appreciation of life, and new meaning in ageing.

From this passionate and creative friendship, and through its intense, lyrical converstaions, emerges a work of warmth, insight, and lasting generosity of spirit.

Ellen,

Why is this night different from all other nights? runs the ritual question at the Passover feast.

For Rainbow Rosenbloom - taxi driver, Chinese food addict, film critic, lesbian and niece to a pack of formidable aunts - the answer is startling.

Because on this night, she meets the executor of vengeance for ancient wrongs, soul-stealing demon of medieval Jewish folklore and disgruntled employee of Mephistco plc, the endearing dybbuk, Kokos.

The ambivalent spook has haunted Ms Rosenbloom down through the ages at considerable cost to her departmental budget and personal self-esteem in fulfillment of an 18th-century curse.

As the tale unfolds, both rainbow and her dybbuk discover that History still holds a few tricks up her sleeve, even in London N16.

Sue,

Burdened by a broken love affair, and a deep sense of alienation from modern American culture, Leslie has fled back to old friends in Portugal.

Once again Joana and Miguel open their home, with all its familial comfort, to her. Once again she immerses herself in a land of ancient customs, a lovely land that contains the stately presence of the centuries.

But her former lover in America is sending mixed signals, and refusing to let old wounds heal. And when Leslie speaks of her sexual identity to Joana and Miguel, Miguel's reaction is desturbingly ambiguous. Then Leslie meets the alluring artist Helena.

Leslie discovers that the year she lived in Provincetown has strengthened her acceptance of herself as a lebian. Amid the flashfire of the passion between herself and Helena, she sees her Portuguese lover and her new gay friends through altered eyes of her American lesbian sensibility. Finally, and irrevocably, she must decide between a new lover in her beloved Portugal and the newly won sexual openness of America's gay community...

Ruth,

"In July 1983, my family gathered for a party to celebrate my sister's marriage. Coincidently, my grandmother - Sophie Geller - had just celebrated her 90th birthday. I'd brought along an excerpt from 'Triangles' that i planned to read to her, thinking she would be pleased and flattered.

I'd been telling her about the book for years and about the character Rose, I'd based on her. But it seemed to make little impressions one way or another. She'd smile and say, 'Dot's nice', as though I'd told her I'd slept well the night before or was thinking of painting my house. I hoped that reading from the actual book would make the difference.

Well, I began to read. At first I thought she understood it and loved it. She was leaning forward, frowning with anticipation, smiling, nodding. I felt great. Especially when she laughed in what seemed to be all the right places. Once I paused and asked, 'Do you understand it, Grandma?' and she answered 'Oy, it's vonderful!'

As I continued, however, I sensed that her reactions were not based on what I was reading, but took their cue from my facial expressions and tone of voice. Finally, I paused. I gave her a questioning look and asked, 'What do you think, Grandma?'

She grinned more widely, shaking her head in amazement at how terrific I was and exclaimed, 'Oy! I think it's vonderful dot you could read vidout glasses!'".

Trip Sheets is a novel about coming out without coming down, a record of a life moving from point A to point B along the most unexpected routes.

Cath Rahven is a cab driver who has a perfect sense of direction in everything except her own life - she bears the curse of "congenitally bad judgment". So Cath begins to make lists to help her get her bearings, remind her of where the dead ends are.

Take men. Cath sleeps with exactly two kinds: those she doesn't like, and those she would like 'otherwise'. So - take women. She thinks they're probably a better bet; trouble is, she isn't even sure what the rule are. It might have something to do with vegetarian restaurants and poetry readings, and then again, it might not...

Cath begins the task of unearthing herself from the safe and familiar but unsatisfying in her life. And she discovers that she is more loving and more lovable that she thought possible.

Compassionate and funny, a demonstration that sometimes when you go searching for a more meaningful existence, you find one.

After spending a passionate weekend with Julia, Cory is devastated when she wakes up to an empty bed.

Weeks later in a supermarket check-out line, Cory's jaw drops when she sees an exquisite face on the cover of a fashion magazine - a face that looks more than vaguely familiar.

Yet, despite her better judgement, and serious warnings from her friends, she finds herself battling a growing infatuation with her very straight - and very attractive - co-worker Sara Stevens.

Haunted by memories of past rejection, Leslie is understandably hesitant about coming out to Sara, yet she doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship by being dishonest about who she is.

When Leslie finally trusts Sara enough to tell her she's a lesbian, Sara fulfills Leslie's worst fears and cuts her off. But not for the reason Leslie thinks.

Hurt and angry with herself, Leslie vows never to trust Sara again, and seeks solace in the arms of a seductive young golf pro. When Sara sees Leslie with her new lover, she is forced to confront her own hidden desires.

Then, a long business trip together turns into an emotional tug-of-war, as Leslie and Sara struggle to control the raging passions that could bring them together - or tear them apart.
