Trade Review"Many assumptions have been made about the degree to which Radclyffe Hall's lesbian classic, The Well of Loneliness, may be autobiographical. Your John dismisses such notions. This exhaustive collection of letters written between 1934 and 1942 to Evguenia Souline, a White Russian emigre with whom Hall fell deeply in love with are detailed, intimate records of Hall's personal life and convictions...the collection is a heart-wrenching record of how politics, money, and geography converged to undermine these women's dreams." * Publisher's Weekly *
"Passionate and revealing love letters from the iconic lesbian novelist...Radclyffe Hall is getting a fresh look...Glasgow has chosen these letters well and provides helpful context." * Kirkus *
