Can you recommend some lesbian novels?

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.

Some of the best lesbian novels include 'Stone Butch Blues' by Leslie Feinberg. This novel offers a unique perspective on the experiences of butch lesbians, dealing with issues like discrimination, identity, and community. Also, 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' by Benjamin Alire Sáenz has strong undertones of a same - sex relationship between the two main characters, Aristotle and Dante. It beautifully portrays the development of their relationship, from friendship to something deeper, in a coming - of - age story set in the American Southwest.

Well, 'Captive Prince' by C.S. Pacat can be considered in a way. It's set in a complex and somewhat dystopian world and has strong homoerotic undertones including lesbian relationships in the background of the courtly intrigue and power struggles. The world - building in this novel really adds to the dystopian feel while exploring different sexualities.

A more recent lesbian - based novel is 'Girl, Woman, Other' by Bernardine Evaristo. While it's not solely focused on lesbian relationships, it does feature strong lesbian characters and their experiences. The book weaves together the stories of twelve different characters, exploring themes of race, gender, and sexuality among other things.

Reading and promoting sexual novels, especially those with explicit content, is not appropriate. We should focus on literature works that carry positive values, such as works about female friendship, self - discovery and equality in the context of the lesbian community that are suitable for general reading.
