She fought – she struggled – she even married a man! But in the end Ann surrendered to tortured women like herself..!’<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Anne’s feelings for Beth might have passed for a little-girl crush. But little girls don’t do what Anne wanted to do–and Beth seemed all too willing.<\/p>\n

Yet Anne, trying to stem the dark demands of her nature, married handsome, virile Mark. When Mark learned where his lovely wife’s true passion lay, his love turned to hate–warped by an excitement which aroused within him a sadistic lust.<\/p>\n

Caught between the perverted beastliness of a wounded male and the softness of women who offer her their love–which path would Anne choose?<\/p>\n

The blurb reads “Life and love among warped women”, but don’t let it scare you. This is one of the better and more serious approaches to the writing of a serious novel of lesbians through the stereotyped pattern of the paperback novel. The basic plot concerns Anne, and her experiences in trying to find out for herself, the hard way, whether she is a lesbian or whether she can successfully adjust to life as a normal woman. The story ends with the surprising, but growingly popular affirmation that “adjustment” is not always to be desired at all costs. The cover also calls this a story of “society’s greatest curse”; meaning homosexuality; but for once it isn’t treated that way. ~ Marion Zimmer Bradley<\/p><\/div>\n
