Nikki
Kevin MacRae
From dust jacket description, ‘You’ve heard about ‘bachelor girls’ who live in the never-never land of forbidden love. Today we call them Lesbians. For centuries people have said that they ‘bear the curse of Sappho.’ These women have suffered from prejudice and ridicule and lack of sympathy because they and their problems have been so little understood. Nikki is a major contribution to the understanding of Lesbianism. It happens, also, to be a very fine novel — and intensely dramatic story of a group of young women in wartime England and Los Angeles.’
Also from the dust jacket, ‘One of its advance readers has said: ‘What Uncle Tom’s Cabin did toward freeing the Negro slave, Nikki will do for liberating the Lesbian from ignorant prejudice and misunderstanding.’

‘Not to be confused with the rubbishy book by the same title by Stuart Friedman, this is a story of Nikki, who loses her beloved in an air raid in London and nearly cracks up before finding a home in a lesbian “colony” in Southern California; silly, but a lot of fun’ ~ Marion Zimmer Bradley
