The Woman at the Edge of Town by Georgette Kaplan
4.0
Georgette Kaplan is an acquired taste, you either want to build a shrine in her honor or run for the hills. I think she is a lesfic goddess. I already loved her when she was a fanfic goddess. Hardly had I seen someone write so prolific, so diverse and so utterly brilliant. Don’t bother looking for it because most of it is gone now.
The Woman at the Edge of Town is sexier than what I’ve seen in her published work so far and maybe a bit less of the pop culture nuggets (one of Kaplan’s trademarks). It’s basically drama free (some boyfriend/best friend and mommy troubles aside).
I loved the characters. Sarah is cute and Nina is sophisticated and quite mysterious with the most unusual job I’ve come across in lesfic for a long while. They make a hot couple.
I’m not going to rehash the plot (you can read the blurb for that).
This is pure Georgette Kaplan, btw:
She could see the other car’s taillights, their glow rising like smoke to the branches of the slanted tree above, which had shifted aside for the darkly wheezing car bundled up against its trunk. From here, it didn’t even look like a wreck, but rather some kind of bizarre taxidermy. A jackalope or something.
Sarah tried to follow her, talk her out of it, but Eileen gave her a loaded finger point and generally insinuated that the Warsaw Pact would be kaput if she didn’t stay right where she was.
Keep writing, goddess. I adore your quirkiness!
f/f explicit with a healthy dose of kinky goodness
Themes: BDSM, cheating boyfriend, mysterious recluse on an island, gardening, Kaplan can really write erotica (some of her early work could not be read without wearing some fire retardant panties!), a dead father, a lonely mother, the scene is the movie theater was very naughty.
4.3 Stars
