Winter Love by Han Suyin

Winter Love is a study of Lesbianism, compassionate but nonetheless clinical in its dissection. For the most part the story is viewed through the eyes of ''Red'' who is rarely hones in her assessment of her own problem, and- threatened with exposure-escapes into a loveless marriage, while Mara her own marriage destroyed- disappears. ''Red'' is always and has a always been afraid of ''being involved''- and yet has usually been the aggressor, until such time as her own safety-and happiness- is threatened. A victim to her temperament, she fails wholly to come to grips with its implications or to face up to its challenge. It provides an extraordinary foil for the first story, which by the way is scheduled for film release this fall. ~ Kirkus Reviews
