Abstract
Description
"A sensitive, candid novel of two who chose another way...'It may be that one must be a male, or owned by one, not to be their natural victim...It may be that there's no place on earth for women who refuse to bend their necks to be the ward of males - neatly transferred from father to brother to husband to son to grave...''The love between the women is such a delicate and sinewy play of demand and consent between the two of them that any reader must understand that this is not a case of perversion of known codes of behaviour, the lie of Butch and Bitch, but a question of making it up as they go along, acting with deep spontaneity and utter commitment. There is nothing fantastical about it, no suggestion of sexual exoticism or misconceived role playing.' -Germaine Greer. 'A delicately etched, sympathetic story' -Sunday Times." -Back cover
