Can you recommend some modern lesbian novels?

Sure. 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit' by Jeanette Winterson is a great one. It tells a semi - autobiographical story of a young girl growing up and coming to terms with her sexual orientation.

One well - known dystopian lesbian novel is 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. Although not solely focused on a lesbian relationship, it contains elements of female - centered and dystopian themes. Another could be 'Ash' by Malinda Lo, which is a retelling of Cinderella in a more dystopian and lesbian - themed context.

Well, 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith is a well - known new(ish) lesbian novel. It was revolutionary at the time of its release. It shows a more nuanced and real - life relationship between two women. Also, 'Ash' by Malinda Lo is a great fantasy - based lesbian novel, which reimagines the Cinderella story with a lesbian relationship at its core.

One well - known erotica lesbian novel is 'Annie on My Mind' by Nancy Garden. It tells a story of two young women falling in love and dealing with the challenges that come with their relationship in a time when same - sex relationships were not as accepted as they are today.

Another well - known one is 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. It was quite revolutionary for its time as it presented a more positive and nuanced portrayal of a lesbian relationship. The story follows a young woman who becomes infatuated with an older woman and their relationship that develops.

Another great one is 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit' by Jeanette Winterson. This novel not only explores lesbian identity but also delves into themes of religious upbringing and self - discovery. It's a beautifully written story that combines elements of memoir and fiction. Winterson's prose is vivid and engaging, making the reader really feel the protagonist's journey through her complex world.

One popular romantic lesbian novel is 'Fingersmith' by Sarah Waters. It is set in Victorian London and is filled with mystery, intrigue, and a complex love story between two women. Another is 'Orlando' by Virginia Woolf, which, while not strictly a traditional romantic lesbian novel in the modern sense, has elements of gender - bending and same - sex attraction. And 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith is also a great choice. It was quite revolutionary for its time in depicting a lesbian relationship in a somewhat positive light.

I'd recommend 'Fingersmith'. It has a really engaging plot with mystery and a deep exploration of the relationship between the two main female characters. 'Rubyfruit Jungle' is also excellent. It's very much a story of self - discovery and female empowerment from a lesbian perspective. The main character is strong - willed and her journey is both relatable and inspiring.

Another one is 'The Talented Miss Highsmith' which delves into the life of Patricia Highsmith who wrote many works with complex characters and mystery, including those with lesbian themes. Her own life also had elements of mystery. This book gives an in - depth look into her world and how it influenced her writing.

One popular lesbian visual novel is 'Heart of the Woods'. It has a great story with well - developed characters. Another one is 'Cinders' which offers a unique take on the Cinderella story in a lesbian context. And 'Nurse Love Addiction' is also quite well - known in this genre.
