Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If doubt had smouldered in Anne at first, the sex extinguished it ... Her questions were silenced by their pleasure calls, and the smoothness and the fluidity of their limbs together calmed her.The novel is intimate and romantic, vivid as the "passionate hot fall of the autumn leaves with their brilliant reds, yellows and golds". --Eithne Farry --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

It is the story of two people who fell in love. The fact that they are both women is, beyond a couple of passing references to the outside world, incidental. It can be identified with by anyone who has ever experienced unrequited love, anyone who has ever been in love, anyone who has ever tasted betrayal, and anyone who has even just dreamed. The narrative is written in the third-person, but reading the prologue and between the lines, the narrator is an older, wiser, and more cynical Flannery, telling a story woven around her poem, "Pages for You", from which the novel takes its name. With enviable ease, it demonstrates sensuality and eroticism without becoming cheap and graphic.
Sylvia Brownrigg transcends international borders, outside experiences, and sexualities, resulting in a commentary relevant to every person in the universe on the crazy things we're willing to do for love.
Pages For You is an incredible journey into a relationship. The author uses beautiful details to describe her characters, makign us immediatly aware of shy but savvy Flannery, and confident, beauitful Anne. From the first page we get an immpression fo their relationship, and details from the begining get carried through the book, to create a feeling of wholeness.
This is one story, Brownrigg always shows us. Just one story in the lives of two intriguing, wonderful women, Flannery and Anne. While Flannery gets the main focus of the novel, it is Anne who carries the story, with her whily ways and her beautifully crafted character. Flannery and Anne are so different,a dn so perfectly layered. You can see exactly ow their relationship works, and exactly how it flows.
Brownrigg's writign style is amazing. She carries you straight into the character's heads and uses wonderful descriptions and ideas to give the book a landscape quality - I mean, it feels like you're really there.
But, aside from how well its written, what I loved most about this book is, it doesn't preach. Flannery and Anne are just gay, or bi, or whatever. Very little is mentioned about the fact that they are both girls. It msotly just tells the story of their relationship. It makes lesbianism seem absolutely natural, something which preachy teen novels never manage to do. Flannery and Anne. They're just a couple. maybe they're in love. That's the point of this book.
I love this story and can't praise it highly enough.
I bought this book strictly because it was about lesbian lovers. Read more
