The famous novel about butch/femme relationships and authentic lesbian life in the 1960s and 70s.
Lee Lynch's 'Swashbuckler' chronicles about 15 years in life of Frenchy Tonneau, a New Yorker, from her coming of age to her fifth anniversary with her lover. The most compelling reason to read this book is Lynch's treatment of Frenchy. Where other lesbian authors have reverted to stereotypes and one-dimensional characters, Lynch's Frenchy is vibrant and lovable, but not perfect as her life is followed through the 1950's and 1960's.
