Enough of Sorrow by Jill Emerson

'The totally absorbing and somewhat shocking story of a beautiful young woman, elevated from the depths of despair and self-destruction by the strange friendship of another female. Seldom has any writer so dramatically ripped away the veils of mystery that obscure the emotional and physical aspects of lesbianism. Seldom has any writer so completely reflected an understanding and appreciation of the kind of relationship that exists between women. Seldom has so difficult and elusive a subject been handled with such startling candor and poignant sensitivity. Winner of the 1965 Midwood Award for literary excellence.'
