Een mooi lesbisch boek lezen? Dan pak je de historische roman van Donoghue welke onlangs een hoge lesbische bekroning won, de 'huiselijke' thriller THE SEALED LETTER.
Based on a scandal that gripped Britain in the 1860s, this domestic thriller explores a feminist spinster's reluctant involvement in a sordid divorce. In 2009 this book won the LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FOR BEST LESBIAN FICTION. Masterful in handling the theme of Fido's possible erotic desire for Helen and Helen's manipulation of same, Emma Donoghue depicts female sexual attraction as a complex threat, both enthralling and taboo. In Victorian England, she suggests, female adulterers and lesbians were equally dangerous beings.
