The Lion House by Marjorie Lee

A shockingly candid tale of misbegotten sexuality among upper-crust bohemians..

''A sizzler' -Philadelphia News. 'A first novel by an American of genius. The subtle relationship between two women with its Lesbian undertones is described with a skill worthy of Colette...One of those rare novels that add to one's knowledge of human nature.' -The London Observer. 'An extremely clever novel...also a very sexy one...' -Washington Sunday Star. 'The probable successor to LOLITA...The novel most likely to be discussed and banned...You might say Marjorie Lee has dramatized the Kinsey Report, but that wouldn't do it justice. The book is suspenseful to the very last page and beautifully written. The daring subject matter is handled with the utmost restraint and good taste...' -Hartford Times.' -Back cover
