So this is love....

As a straight woman, this book gives me wonderful insight into the love life of a lesbian couple. And to all those people out there who argue against gay relationships, this book clearly shows that "love is love." Worries, tender moments, everyday things like walking the dog and feeding the cats, are things we all go through in our relationships. So I hope this book does not get just a gay audience. The only bone I have to pick is that I thought the writing and editing could have been tighter. Some of the chapters seem as if they were written to stand on their own. For example, we're introduced several times to "Paulie, my brother," when she could have just introduced him that way once and subsequently referred to him just as Paulie. Same thing with her descriptions of her Chicago neighborhood and her Slavic background. But still, I really flew through this book.

Flows like honey down your throat

I can't say enough how wonderful this book is. It goes best with deleriously hot summer days and cool drinks with condensation on the outside of the glass. The prose is wonderful and sweeping, it pulls you through each and every memory that fills the book with a sense of delight, wonder and devotion. It made me think about my own position as a Lesbian in the 21st Century. A must for any Lesbian in a long term relationship, or any woman that has the teeniest romantic soul.

A Love Story

This is a marvalous love story. Ms. Borich's prose is very lyrical as she describes the relationship between herself and her lover and best friend. The first half is totally captivating, weakens a bit in the second half, but wraps it up with a very strong last chapter. This is not just a story of the life of a lesbian, but a story of the love that two people have for each other. Read it. You will not be disappointed.

Heartwarming Portrait of Love

Winner of the American Library Association's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Book Award, this is a heartwarming work of creative non-fiction. Alternating between present and past, the reader enters the author's 13 year relationship w/ her "lesbian husband." Readers see everyday slices of life: buying a house, moving, walking the dog, dinners with friends, etc. within the context of a long-term lesbian relationship. Attending a family wedding prompts the author to ponder what she should call her partner, is a ceremony necessary to recognize/legitimize her relationship? A well written, touching story of lesbian love and devotion.

Happy ever after

I found this book very useful in changing people's idea of being a lesbian mean being unhappy, and tortured. We can live a happy and somewhat "conventional" life, with a partner, and a family too. I think that it's the best way to show others our pride.
