Queer Patterns
Lilyan Brock
‘A delicate theme, treated honestly and candidly’
‘Racked by an emotion that she was forced to explore secretly, Sheila gradually became aware that she was not a normal woman–‘
From the back cover: ‘She folded Sheila into her arms and kissed her eyes, her soft fair hair, finally her lips…’
—
She folded Sheila into her arms and kissed her eyes, her soft fair hair, finally her lips. Nicoli’s short dark hair, gray eyes, and cameo cut features were somehow fascinating to Shelia. And Nicoli gave of them freely.
Honey-haired, statuesque Sheila Case is the central character in a fascinating story about a young actress who is drawn to women and finds many women attracted to her. These attractions can be intriguing, even useful, as Sheila works to further her acting career in the harsh and competitive theater world. Sheila knew she had a crush on Nicoli from the first moment she met her. Cool and deliberately sensual, Nicoli allowed the attraction to develop into a deeply passionate affair both women were powerless to control. Before long, though, the dangerous game Sheila is playing to advance her acting career threatens to trap her in the very web she has woven, and ensnare the lovers in the glare of gossip, rumor and ostracism.
Against the backdrop of the theatre world, Queer Patterns is a story of powerful attraction, passionate love and the lengths to which two women will go to protect it against all odds.
Inside:
Honey-haired, statuesque Sheila Case had a “crush” on Nicoli. But Sheila wasn’t a schoolgirl any longerÂ…. She should have realized that the attraction of woman for woman was unconventional, unhealthy, strange.
On the other hand, Nicoli knew exactly what she was doing. Cool and deliberately sensual, she let herself slip entirely into a half-world of unnatural lovemaking.
This is an intimate, honest novel about a delicate human problem — the rarely faced-up-to matter of lesbianism — written at an intelligent, mature level.
