The Latecomer
First released in 1974, Sarah Aldridge’s The Latecomer was truly a landmark publication; it was the first lesbian novel that didn’t end in suicide, murder, madness, or one of the women ultimately marrying a man. In fact, the novel manages to end happily.
The exhilarating story centers around Phillippa, a young schoolteacher returning to America via cruise-ship. Her life is turned upside down when she meets an entertainer whose existence is the polar opposite of her own. Over the course of several years, these two women keep running into each other… until they finally find the courage to acknowledge their feelings of love for one another. This 30th anniversary edition includes commentary by Radclyffe, Jinx Beers and others.
