Sister Gin by June Arnold

Sister Gin

June Arnold

Aging, lesbian consciousness, the difficulty of escaping from alcoholism-these are the themes of June Arnold’s extraordinary novel, first published by Daughters in 1975. The novel stands squarely in the southern literary tradition, depicting with memorable hilarity a groupd of elderly female vigilantes who take local rape deference into their own hands. Critics and fellow writers have rightly lauded it as a classic of experimental fiction. It is also a unique exploration of menopause as rebirth. ‘Sister Gin is a tour de force about lesbianism and alcoholism, fat and feminism, rape and race, falling in love with your lover’s mother’s girlfriend, and it has the very best description of hot flashes in literature.’~Jane Marcus
