Toothpick House: A NovelAnnie Heaphy, cab driving baby butch, lives a life of freedom in a shack on the Connecticut coast. Her dislike of "Yalies" and all they represent extends to beautiful, self-possessed Victoria Locke at first, and then they fall in love and both their worlds change forever. Toothpick House is their story, but it is also the story of the burgeoning women's movement, the changes it brings to traditional Lesbian lives, and the ways in which it affected all of the young women of the past decade. Lee Lynch, long known as a writer of fine short stories, offers is this, her first novel. We predict it will become a classic. |
