Explanation Conducive To Books Curious Wine
There are certain books classified as classics that are important in lesfic. Forrest's name comes up a lot because she was writing lesfic before many others. At least lesbian books that weren't considered pulp, that had horrible endings. This is a classic lesbian romance, that if you changed a few things, could be written today. And considering this was published when I was 1 years-old, that's pretty good.The main characters do fall in love very quickly, but what I like about it was its sensuality. We don't see that often in books anymore. The touching and stroking and kissing, that doesn't just lead to sex, but is done because you love a person. It was nice to read. And overall I thought the sex scenes were pretty well written for 1983.
I do wish there wasn't a rape scene. It's not overly horrific, but I wasn't expecting it, so it was a bit jarring. And the character seemed to get over what happened to her at light speed.
I did feel like Daughters of a Coral Dawn, Forrest's classic sci-fi book, made me feel more. But I do understand why this is considered a classic.

Maybe its somehow the wrong time for me, but I was unimpressed with wildly enthusiastic and specific taunting of friends or acquaintances who should be more or less involved or promiscuous etc etc. i dont like romance novels in general and this felt too Harlequin or silly. As i said maybe just me but too old fashioned. So I quit.I guess this is supposed to be lesbian erotica, or some sort of lesbian love novel...perhaps if you're a straight white man. Seriously, this book is ridiculous.
Im very pleased to have been prompted (by the Lesbian Book Club) to read this lesfic classic, and I can see why it is a classic. Its a short book (my library copy was only 160 pages, and was the fourth printing of the UK version by Silver Moon Books), which is fine by me: it ended just where I would have liked it to. The title, Curious Wine, is a reference to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, which runs like a binding thread through the narrative, and is often quoted as a short-hand to express the

I dont recall how I came upon Curious Wine, but I seem to have had it for quite some time. Perhaps a find from the endless hours spent perusing lists of LGBT-themed books? I did take a leap of faith a few years back, so that must have been it.Reading Curious Wine made me think of both Desert Hearts and Claire of the Moon. I felt as if I was watching the narrative happening through a grain filter, which was both endearing and helpful, as it offered the distance, both in terms of time and space,
A sweet and unusual lesbian romance. Set in 1978 it is definitely dated, quite amusingly so. Gentle all the way, and subtly gripping, it left me keen throughout to learn how events would unfold.
Dated, but a classic to be sure.
I love Lex Kent's idea of starting a "Fallback Friday" read! This one is one that I've been wanting to read for a while, but life kept getting in the way and it just kept falling further down on my to-read list. I'm sorry I put it off so long!Set in 1978, I expected it to be a little dated, but it really wasn't. I mean - aside from the women smoking cigarettes (and a joint!), and a bit of dialogue, this could have been set today. Mostly, the main things that stuck out to me as dated was just the
