First of all I had never heard of Sappho before so I had a lot fun learning about her. Her impact on other historical and persent day people was equally as intriguing!
Thank you to Jack Edward for the recomondation.

This book is poetry!
Set between the end of the Nineteenth century and the Second World War, it's a marvelous trip into the work and life of European lesbian/bisexual feminist artists. The structure is in fragments, and it tries to follow the study and recovery of Sappho's writing.
It's a must-read if only to learn a bit of history, but also because it's a deeply original piece of literature.
I don't feel like giving it full five stars because the ending felt a bit weaker than the rest of the book to me. While it may be coherent with the following of a "virtual artistic club" set in Western Europe, it lacks intersectionality and the author could have added lesser-known performers/writers.

Exceptionally beautiful. It was very accessible, felt like peeking into the lives of these people in fragments, just like we can only read Sappho in big pauses. It touches upon not only gender, but also colonialism and white supremacy.
