Claire of the Moon

A very blievable love store.Soft, funny, & had me hopeing for a hook up. I only wish I could get the sound track!

If you enjoyed the movie, you're going to like the book better. There was a lot to the story that Conn was forced to edit out of the movie to shorten the running time. Once you read the book, you wish that Conn could have afforded to keep the movie the length she intended. The book also explains some things that seem disjointed in the movie. Claire's struggle to decide what exactly it is she wants in her life is interesting. Noel's reluctance to get involved with a "straight" woman is understandable. The story isn't as much about seduction as it it inevitability. It would be nice to have a follow up to see how this pair ended up later.

This book is my favorite lesbian novel. Nicole Conn tells this story well. If you're a romantic at heart, you'll love this story. The movie is a must see. It's not for everyone, but I think it is well worth it.

Nicole Conn eloquently pens one of the most wonderfully sensual lesbian love stories of all time. Claire is a brash, beautiful and frustrated writer who has become an expert at masking her own fears and sensitivities. At a women writer's retreat in the Pacific Northwest, she unhappily finds herself sharing a cabin with Noel, and accomplished psychologist and writer whose expertise lies in sexual behavior and intimacy issues. The constant push-pull dynamics of two women, both scarred by love and a lifetime of overcoming obstacles, builds the type of sexual tension that grabs you by the heart and won't let go. I read the book in one day, although I wanted it to never end. I immediately went out and purchased her latest novel.
