Dear reader, dear finder - thank you for coming here to see where this book has been so far. I hope you enjoy it. Do feel free to leave a journal entry below saying where you found this, what you thought of it, and what you intend to do with it.

Sending to hyphen8, who won the LGBT History Month challenge. I hope this gets to you OK - I asked for interesting stamps for your collection, and the man at the post office stuck them all over the place!

My prize package for elstaplador's LGBT History Month challenge arrived today with this book in it. Thanks very much for all the goodies: a book, a bookmark, notecards, labels, *and* postage stamps! (Larger photo here.)

The back cover says:

'The archetypal lesbian novel, the one whose title, at least, is familiar to everyone' Times Literary Supplement

I think I first heard of this title in something I read (surprise!) - the text mentioned in passing something about a character who found a copy of this book. I've never read it, so I'll give it a try.

Here's another copy on my shelf.

Well, I did start, but I kept finding other things I had to read before I could get back to it. So I decided it might be a long time before it got finished at that rate. I think it's better for this book to travel.

Off to see the world by way of GoryDetails's LGBT shrinking bookbox.

Sadly, the bookbox met with a major mailing mishap back in 2012: it was returned to me, empty. Hopefully the books are still out there, traveling, somewhere...
