After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz
3.0
challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I feel like I should have appreciated this more. I like the concept (a mix between fiction and biography with a sprinkle of Sappho's fragments) and it was beautifully written and by times really engaging - but it was hard for me to get through. I should probably dive more into early twentieth century literature written by women and then try again someday.
