Enough of Sorrow

More than just a touching romance, this is a deep exploration of an on-the-verge-of-interesting person. Maybe not someone I would want to get to know, but insofar as the book goes, useful enough. This is the first of these mid-century lesbian romances I've read, so I don't know if this is typical of the genre, but this is not over-the-top erotica. The sex scenes are erotic, certainly, but they serve more as a bridge to exploration of the character than as pure titillation.

It's hard to believe this was written in a matter of days. Lawrence Block is a GOOD WRITER. I can't wait to read more of him and Jill Emerson.
