Boy, this book is so much better than I thought it would be...sweet, funny, emotional and (best of all!) the writer takes her time with the love story and presents wonderful characters you grow to care about. My only pet peeve with the novel is Marianne K. Martin's constant use of words like "lifestyle" and "lover." The use of both words in this case is especially jarring considering the two women who fall in love are more the committed and caring type than women who pursue a life of bar hopping and casual affairs. Of course, I have never been a big fan of the word "lover" in any situation since it's always struck me as an odd word to use when describing someone special in your life...just my two cents. Overall: this is a really cute, breezy read much needed in a world where lesbian fiction can sometimes be just plain awful! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Not only does [Love in the Balance] have love and excitement, but it has issues very close to all of us."--The Alabama Forum Gaiety "Marianne Martin is a wonderful storyteller and a graceful writer with a light, witty touch with language and a sensitivity to the emotions of people in love."--Ann Bannon Real life has a way of sneaking up on you. Connie likes men. Sure, she's just dumped one, but she'll find another one soon enough. Instead she finds Kasey. Who happens to be a woman--a lesbian, actually. Connie reckons they'll be good friends, and she soon realizes she wants more. But Kasey has already had her heart broken. Her ex-girlfriend turned out to like men. Kasey won't take a chance on that happening again. And her friends won't let her, either. Especially not Sharon. If this is love, Connie has a lot of convincing to do and a lot of people to win over. Just when it seems like maybe she has, real life comes sneaking up again. Some people hate lesbians--hate them enough to kill. And it's not obvious that the authorities care. Connie and Kasey and Sharon must each put their doubts to the side and work together to get justice. Marianne K. Martin is the author of eight novels and has been shortlisted three times for the Lambda Literary Award. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
