Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of World War I, the narrative centers on Stephen Gordon, an upper-class Englishwoman who navigates her identity and love for another woman while serving as an ambulance driver. The novel explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the struggles of a masculine lesbian in early 20th-century England. As Hall's only work with explicit lesbian themes, it holds a significant place in lesbian literature, reflecting her experiences and the challenges faced by those in the LGBTQ+ community during that era.
