If you are interested in non-western LGBT narratives, please do yourself a favor and read this book! I would give out copies of this if I could. Incredibly underrated gem that leaves any white, western LGBT/feminist narrative in the dust. (I, too, grow tired of Carol being recommended left and right.)

Content Warnings

Graphic: Sexual content

Moderate: Domestic abuse and Homophobia

there is a polyamorous sex scene involving all minors (if I remember correctly). if that isn't your thing, certainly skip over it
