Title: Girl love
Product review: It's London during the horrors of the bombing raids of 1941 and the lives of a group of women intertwine inextricably.Four lesbian lovers agonise over exactly WHO they love and why, while another silly, stupid young woman continues her affair with a married soldier who gets her pregnant and then deserts her in her time of greatest need, following a botched abortion. Unbelievably, this lame brain girl continues with the affair for years afterwards, wasting her time on this idiot. As is probably apparent, this book made me angry but it's my own fault for reading a Sarah Waters book as she always writes about lesbian themes and if I hadn't been aware of just how much detail of love making she goes into, I certainly do now. Her descriptions of war torn London and of its inhabitants who were reduced to either zombie like fatalism or to quivering, nervous wrecks, are superbly done, but it's all so unhappy that it left me feeling totally depressed.
