Publisher's Synopsis
'Arguably the finest piece of lesbian fiction ever written' - The Lambda Book Report Currently nominated for a Lambda Literary Award, this debut novel, now in paperback, tells the turbulent story of Mercedes Medina, who is facing the death of her good-humoured husband of 25 years, fully expecting her elegantly ordered existence to carry on. But when a passionate affair with a much younger woman hits her head-on - and desire collides with responsibility - she is forced to redefine her life in ways authentically her own.
