About this book
When it appeared in 1928, this novel was put on trial for obscenity in Britain and banned there for decades, though its only truly offending line was a woman's plea that two lovers 'were not divided.' Radclyffe Hall tells the life of Stephen Gordon, a wealthy Englishwoman who knows from girlhood that she loves other women. Raised on a country estate, gifted and lonely, she serves as an ambulance driver in the First World War and there meets Mary Llewellyn, but the couple's happiness is slowly worn down by a society that refuses to let them exist. Hall argues, without apology, that same-sex love is natural and deserving of acceptance. It remains a landmark of lesbian literature. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.
