Another good one is 'Fingersmith' by Sarah Waters. It's a Victorian - era story full of mystery, drama and a beautiful lesbian relationship that is more about the connection between the characters than anything sexual. It has complex characters and a really engaging plot.

Another one is 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. It was one of the first mainstream novels to portray a lesbian relationship. It tells a love story that is both tender and real, without any erotic elements but still manages to capture the essence of the relationship between the two women.

The movie 'Carol' is also a wonderful piece. It beautifully portrays the relationship between two women in a 1950s setting, focusing on their emotions, glances, and the unspoken understanding between them, without any inappropriate content.

Another one could be 'Orlando' by Virginia Woolf. Although it is not strictly a lesbian - themed novel in the modern sense, it does play with gender and has elements of same - sex attraction.

Woolf's writing style in this book is very unique, using stream - of - consciousness to delve deep into the character's mind.
