"One of the best selling lesbian novels of all time." - Rubyfruit Review

Product Description
A REISSUE OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING AND BESTSELLING LESBIAN FICTION CLASSIC The reissue of Katherine V. Forrest's timeless story of all-out war between a man and a woman for the body and soul of the woman they both desire. In the 1980s, the politics of feminism were just beginning to gain mainstream awareness. In this fast-paced novel, first published in 1986, Lambda Award winner Katherine V. Forrest nurtured a new genre of fiction: the lesbian emergence novel. In AN EMERGENCE OF GREEN, one of the best-selling lesbian novels of all time, an unplanned encounter between trophy wife Carolyn Blake and her new neighbour - tall, athletic artist Val Hunter - leads to a close friendship and deepening emotions that young Carolyn has never known. Carolyn begins to question her attitudes, her life, her marriage, and her sexuality. The two women's intense physical encounters force Carolyn at last to acknowledge her true desires and to rethink her values and her cloistered life. Can Carolyn really give up comfort for unfamiliar territory, stability for fulfilment?

I came across this book by accident. Wow it was a fab find!
I felt that Katherine had a wonderful way in describing the charactors, Val and Caroline. I was totally gripped from the start. I felt it was written in a way of admiration of a person who finally realised want she felt and wanted. This person not caring what was around them, but pure connection.

Reading this is to to do a rewind to an American world where lesbian romance is furtive; where phrases such as "Welcome to the lesbian community!" are not laughed out of court; where disquisitions on modern art and male chauvinism can alternate with careful expositions of oral sex; and where nothing is politically-incorrectly penetrative but the orgasms are great. Lots of swimming pool tactile contact. Lots of enthused descriptions of flower paintings. Lots of struggling with feelings slightly late in life and realising your true self. Hey, this is 1986 and this is Los Angeles calling!

"At the urging of her lover, Aimee Grant, Kate reluctantly attends a 25th reunion of those she served with in Vietnam, an event she's avoided to keep her memories at bay, and the past shrouded in stoic silence. But amidst the autumnal damp of Washington, Kate's reticence turns to terror when their hotel room door is sprayed with bullets. Then one of the reunion guests is murdered - and it doesn't take long for the D.C. cops to determine that everyone in their group is a suspect, including Kate. As a cop on the inside, Kate pursues professionally what she's already discovered personally: that the price of freedom means she must solve a heinous crime to put fear to rest - and save her and Aimee's life... Katherine V. Forrest explores the cold heart of murder - and the landscape of a lesbian relationship - in a mystery that makes its mark as both compelling entertainment and fine literature."
Another good addition to the series, although this one is not quite as "fluent" as her previous installments. Saying that, the Kate Delafield series is still among my favourites with the Micky Knight, Robin Miller and Jane Lawless books.
The series so far:
1. Amateur City (1984)
2. Murder At the Nightwood Bar (1986)
3. The Beverly Malibu (1989)
4. Murder By Tradition (1991)
5. Liberty Square (1996)
6. Apparition Alley (1997)
7. Sleeping Bones (1999)
8. Hancock Park (2004)
