This novel holds a place of high honor in my heart because it was the first lesbian novel I'd ever read. A friend loaned it to me. I was 18 and in the Marines during the dark pre- Don't Ask Don't Tell years, so hid it away in my locker when not reading. It is supposedly based on Brown's relationship with Martina Navratilova. I often think of re-reading it, but it might be one better left to my fuzzy memories. ( ) This book is a "horrid example". The author and Martina Navratilova were, for a time, a very public couple. Then they broke up. And Brown made the fatal error of writing a roman-à-clef. This is always a mistake. Getting revenge on your ex is death on good writing. It's a shame, because Brown is ordinarily an excellent writer. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
