Pages for You

When I went to the lesbian and bi women's event on Saturday, I stood and talked to a librarian like a total geek fangirl, gushing over Julia Darling and Stella Duffy. She hadn't read either of them, but had read this and implored me to read it.

I didn't fancy the cover much, but she was so enthusiastic that  i was intrigued and as i sat down to read this, i realised why. 

I read it in one afternoon, as the story, whilst not groundbreaking, is written well, with a sensual use of language to describe the experience of falling in love for the first time - from first sighting, first shag and the inevitable end. 

So, like the librarian, I hope if you're reading this you'll get it out of the library or buy it, as it is just lovely.

yep. really me! it's amazing how often my blogging (or blog-reading) friends or readers tell me about being mentioned somewhere. as I say though, very good that you set librarian straight (as it were) re Julia's work. and tartcity readers are very good at finding blogs ...

(Latitude was great. I loved that it was so small and 'manageable')
