This is a sapphic novel written in 1936 that I picked up because it was mentioned in another book I read (can’t remember what one). It also features a trans character. I had a hard time with this book and think I would like it better if I were taking a class on it. It has some beautiful passages about love. Unfortunately uses the n-word on several occasions.
