Any lesbian books you can recommend?

I have been searching my local library for Lesbian romance , but the ones that i have seen involves a woman discovering she likes women after being with a man for years or having kids which is depressing , so i dont purchase those

Is their any books out that that features lesbian love where the woman is clued up about her sexuality from the get go and has a relationship with a woman?

Im not sure anyone here knows of any... Hopefully someone would

Dandelion,
There are some wonderful lesbian authors out there. I used to manage a bookstore. Robbie Summers is a good place to start. She rights some wonderful erotica and love stories....all about women loving women. Good luck.
Peace,
Linda

Dandelionprincess,
as a book about lesbian romance I think I can recommend you Jeanette Winterson's books especially "Written on the body" and " The passion"

I think Kathleen Forrest's "Curious Wine" is simply the best lesbian novel I have read. I also absolutely adore Verda Foster's "These Dreams", Peggy J Herring's "Once More With Feeling", and oldie but goodie "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith.

For young adults the best I have ever read was "Keeping You A Secret" by Julie Peters.

And my friend Jan Vincent would definitely recommend "Patience and Sarah" by Isabel Miller.

I read "Oranges" quite recently, and also "Lighthousekeeping" (which I liked better) by the same author. These books are undeniably well written and I really liked "Lighthousekeeping", but I wouldnt recommend them as lesbian novels really, even though the main character in each IS a lesbian.

Lesbian Books

I like Sarah Waters, as far as that time period, although I find that it gets a little tired, a little boring. I like Michelle Tea. The Chelsea Whistle, Valencia....they have a raw gritty feeling to them, and they are true stories.

I agree that for best reads - Sarah Waters is very hard to beat. Fabulous writing style!!

Another good write/read is The Well of Loneliness - by Radclyffe Hall.

I have also enjoyed a couple of mystery fiction series where the PI is a lesbian - and her story, along with the crime she is solving run nicely alongside each other. I found them great entertaining light reads. Best to read them in the sequence they were written!!

Author - Sandra Scoppettone - the PI is Lauren Laurano - from memory a 5 book series.

Author - Mary Wings - the PI is Emma Victor - from memory a 4 book series.

I found them and loads of other lesbian love books in the romance section of my local library - simply by keying in the word "lesbian" to the catalogue.

Good reading ................ Slacko

Try Sarah Waters

I can really recommend Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet'. I haven't read a better lesbian novel. Allthough all her other novels are very good.

Happy reading.
