Back cover text:
‘Why can’t I be normal?’
THE WELL OF LONELINESS by Radclyffe Hall has been denounced as immoral and praised as a fine and courageous piece of work.
It is the life story of Stephen Gordon, a sensitive girl whose parents ardently desired a son in her place. How Stephen developed a natural tendency toward masculinity, her tortured adolescence, and her love that the world – even her mother – condemned, is the theme of this extraordinary book.
The frankness and sincerity of Radclyffe Hall’s story, her delicate treatment of a difficult subject, will make this book as fascinating, thrilling – and thought-provoking – for you as for the millions who have already read it.
