Hey /lit/,
I was just discussing romance novels with a friend and we reached the subject of romance novels focusing on homosexual love, specifically lesbian love.
The world drowns in romance novels starring lesbians, but I can't really think of any that I would consider good. In recent decades there have been quite a few wonderful films focusing on lesbianism, often highly regarded, but the written word seems mostly left out.
So, are there good novels about lesbian love? Any recommended reading, classical or more recent?

Carol was a damn nice film, and Highsmith is a good writer.

>I have a practice short story that's kind of a romance story.
Nobody cares what you've written. They want actually published and good stuff.

Why do you think I'm nervous?
I'm attempting to write seriously in a type of book that's woefully underdeveloped.
I've passed up so much that looks like such trash and I'm trying to do my part to bring a little class
Read Sappho...
O LIFE divine! to sit before
Thee while thy liquid laughter flows
Melodious, and to listen close
To rippling notes from Love's full score.
O music of thy lovely speech !
My rapid heart beats fast and high.
My tongue-tied soul can only sigh.
And strive for words it cannot reach.
O sudden subtly-running fire !
My ears with dinning ringing sing.
