Just recently re-read this book. The writing is so rich, lavish, and evocative.

It's a collection of personal essays, each one centering around the question of what marriage means to lesbians in general, and to the writer and her partner in particular. When the book was published more than a decade ago, the political landscape was very different. This book recalls the way it was then, makes it clear how much has changed, and still brings up points that are quite relevant today. It's also a real joy to read. ( )

One woman's recap of her relationship with a woman. This is a beautiful story of love and the journey that one takes to be able to succeed in love. ( )

A beautifully-written memoir
