Patience & Sarah by Isabel Miller
5.0
"I began to wonder if what makes men walk so lordlike and speak so masterfully is having the love of women. If that was it, Sarah and I would make lords of each other."
The sensations the language evokes is equally reflected in the reader as it is in the characers, Patience and Sarah. The unrestrained way in which they love, despite obstacles and unkindness, and the way in which they find their own meanings and descriptions of what they feel, of things never felt before, is inspiring. This book is definitely a favorite because I am starved for wlw literature in which their happy endings aren't men but one another or in which the book does not end in tragedy. I cannot remember how this book came to land on my "to-read" list but I am glad I found it.
