As a Lover

By Hilary McCollum

Book Overview

London. 1928.

For centuries, the establishment has suppressed public knowledge of lesbian love. Now, a celebrated writer is set to fight back.

Award-winning author, Radclyffe Hall, hopes her new novel, The Well of Loneliness, will transform attitudes to same-sex relationships. It soon comes under attack from the right-wing press, concerned about its potential impact on readers. One such reader is Maggie Dillon, a young trainee firefighter, who has been struggling with fears that she is an abomination after kissing another woman at a party.

Can The Well transform Maggie's views about herself and help her to find love? And will Radclyffe Hall keep her book in print long enough to radically change the views of society?
