4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT LESBIAN NOVEL 13 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book is wonderful! It shows how identity is hard to define. It is so wonderfully written that any lesbian would enjoy it ! I wasn't sure about it when I first checked it out at the library, but now I just love it! Please read it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Disappointment from Lesbian Land 30 April 1998
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Please, is anyone ever going to write a decent lesbian novel? I'd given up on them long ago, but picked up a/k/a for its misleading reviews. I THOUGHT that I would be getting a story about normal lesbian women (yes, I know it's hard to believe but they actually exist!). I THOUGHT I would be getting a story with wit and humor, perhaps one pointing out how funny it really is to have to be closeted in this day and age. I THOUGHT that Ms. Robson's acknowledgements thanking "several women who wish to remain anonymous" meant that these were friends who preferred not to be outed in print. Now I see that they were probably ashamed to have had anything to do with this book which was NOT (surprise, surprise) about normal women at all; nor was it witty, or warm or even well written. Ruthann Robson has just added another terrible novel about two ...... women to the lesbian card catalogue at the library. Do NOT buy this book-don't even steal it! END

5.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent, original tour de force 26 Aug 1997
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
As compelling and suspenseful as a thriller novel, a/k/a lays bare the lives of two arresting women from vastly different worlds on an inexorable trajectory toward each other. A tour de force of originality, complexity and edgy intelligence.
