This was a fantastic historical fiction story about lesbian women who live on the island of Terciera in the 1950s/1960s. These women create their own community in which they live, laugh, love and support each other beautifully. They also have some amazing experiences, including working on the US Air Force base and travelling the world.
The story of these Azorean women who courageously choose to live their lives honestly and openly was inspiring. The experiences they had, the women they loved and the lives they built for themselves kept me reading until it was much too late and my eyes were burning. But I did not want to put this story down even when it broke my heart. I don't really want to say much else and spoil this wonderful story but take my advice and READ IT.
