I almost didn’t read The Little Stranger. I was going to boycott Sarah Waters’ latest book because I’d heard it didn’t have a lesbian theme or lesbian characters.
Hah.
It may not have had overt lesbian themes or characters but if Caroline wasn’t a lesbian… well, I think she probably was.
The Little Stranger was a good read, ten times better than Affinity. A good bit better than The Night Watch. It’s no Tipping the Velvet or Fingersmith but it’s pretty darn good.
So what you are saying is that you are glad that you read it? 😉
Looking for reviews of this book, your comment struck me: “I almost didn’t read The Little Stranger. I was going to boycott Sarah Waters’ latest book because I’d heard it didn’t have a lesbian theme or lesbian characters.
Hah.”
Would it be different if I said “”I almost didn’t read The Little Stranger. I was going to boycott Sarah Waters’ latest book because I’d heard she writes about lesbian themes or lesbian characters.
Hah.”
Are either in good taste and/or indicative of literary bigotry?
