Alma Rose

Rating:
Summary: Romance with eyes wide open
Review: Doesn't matter that this is a love story between two women - it could as easily be any forbidden love. It is about love so big outsiders can't see it. It is about being changed so much by love, waking up so much, that trivial things like "facts" and broken hearts don't matter any more. It's about owning your own life, and never being a victim. This is a book about the wisdom of learning that what happens TO you doesn't matter so much as how you respond. It is an utterly Romantic book, in the best, old sense of the word, and I would recommend it to anyone of any persuasion. (It was recommended to me by a straight woman.)

Summary: It was alright.....
Review: I read this book all excited-like. I was thinking "Yeah, lesbian love story". I thought the book was actually kind of boring. I had wish that her relationship with Alma Rose had developed more. I wish that she had heard more flack from the town about her relationship with a woman, especially in a small town where they weren't used to the idea of same sex marriages. The book could have been written so much better. I enjoyed it, but I was hoping for more :)

Summary: Alma Rose is best lesbian literature I've ever read.
Review: Without a doubt, the novel "Alma Rose" is the best book I've ever read with a lesbian main character. Frankly, I'm biased against the genre, but this book set me, uh, straight. What most struck me was the beautiful language and the thoughtfulness of the narrative. It is a heart-rending book that also makes you think.
