i've never read anything like this before, such an intricate series of vignettes of historical sapphics. i wanted to like it so much more than i did but it was very hard to get into and get through. there are so many characters i lost track. however, the prose was really striking and there were some absolutely beautiful lines. experimental in form, good overall, just difficult to consume.

I really wanted to like it, but it was hard to follow and get through. There were a couple of interesting bits, but I definitely agree with David's review about it being heavily Eurocentric.
Wikipedia pages of the women featured in this book were far more interesting than the book itself
