Between Women: Friendship, Desire, and Marriage in Victorian England by Sharon Marcus

4.0

This is a very academic book, and a good chunk of it focuses on literary analysis of books I haven't read. It's slow-going, but that said, I enjoyed the book. Marcus focuses on female friendship, female desire, and female marriage separately, and she meshes literature with culture and law. I found the female culture especially interesting, and she reads the literature in a way I definitely wouldn't have picked up on reading it myself.
