Odd Girl Out
Ann Bannon
Like the unforgettable SPRING FIRE, here is an urgent young first novel of emotions running wild–beyond the pale into the dark country of love that should never have been.
Bannon (b. 1932) is one of the major lesbian authors and considered in some circles the most important of all. This novel is the first in her influential Beebo Brinker series and is somewhat autobiographical.

‘Beth was there when Laura arrived..She was the brain, the sparkle, the gay rebel voice of the sorority and, wonder of wonders, she chose Laura as her roommate. That was the way it began, the one up there at the pinnacle and the other, the lonely one, longing always to draw nearer and nearer. Suddenly the distance between them closed and they were alone on an island of forbidden bliss…Like the unforgettable SPRING FIRE, here is an urgent young first novel of emotions running wild – beyond the pale into the dark country of love that should never have been.’ -Back cover
