Return to Lesbos by Valerie Taylor

Frances is stuck in a classic Feminine Mystique-type dilemma: she's been hustled out to the suburbs by her husband of 21 years, in an attempt to leave her lover and the surrounding scandal behind. Bored to tears in her big house and unwilling to socialize with the 'Wives', she sees Erika in a bookstore and, recognizing a kindred spirit, falls in love. Erika's too busy recovering from Kate's death (!) to want anything to do with Frances, but with the help of the bookstore owner, she comes around and Erika and Frances eventually come together.
