Description

A landmark work of lesbian literature, Lover was first published in 1972 to critical acclaim. Emerging from the women's and gay liberation movement, this novel features a diverse range of characters who reflect the complexities of their time. In this updated edition, author Bertha Harris offers a new introduction that provides insight into the cultural and personal context of her writing. Harris reframes the story within its unique moment in time, revealing the real-life personalities behind some of the characters. This audacious novel is a gem of early lesbian writing, offering a fascinating glimpse into one of the most significant periods in LGBTQ history. Published twenty years after its initial release, this edition provides new perspectives on a classic work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.
