The Well of Loneliness: The Classic of Lesbian Fiction Format:Paperback From staid English country houses

From staid English country houses to flamboyant Parisian nightclubs and an outrageous costume ball in Tangiers

Crafted out of language by turns spiritual and sexually graphic

There's a Hunger Games vibe here to be sure--a deadly teen-on-teen competition--and this is packed with similar questions of morality

I was bawling by the end of it

to writer and comedienne Carol Leifer

The Well of Loneliness: The Classic of Lesbian Fiction Format:Paperback From staid English country housesOriginally published in 1928, Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness is the timeless story of a lesbian couple's struggle to be accepted by "polite" society. Shockingly candid for its time, this novel was the very first to condemn homophobic society for its unfair treatment of gays and lesbians.
