The Other Side of Venus by Shirley Verel

The Other Side of Venus

Shirley Verel

‘A portrayal in depth and dimension of a time and a world only a few brief, cautionary years before our time’. ‘The Other Side of Venus is a luminous, literate, unforgettable love story. A love story for all time’.

Ending her arid marriage has not lessened Judith Allart’s emotional emptiness. Because she understands the dictates of the Lesbian nature she has now come to know & except, she has rejected Julian Floyd’s proposal of marriage. And because she also realizes the power of the forces marshalled against women like herself in mid-twentieth century England, she has submerged her life in her work.Then she meets young, radiant, intelligent Diana Quendon, whose first novel has propelled her into the glamorous world of London publishing. As Judith struggles against the deepening bond between them, young Diana, with none of Judith’s life-experience, understands only that Judith’s love in necessary to the completion of her self. Soon the two women are confronted by all forces Judith fears. Diana’s formidable mother challenges Judith; & the implacable Julian arrays his command to destroy a relationship he considers irredeemably evil.
