The Well of Loneliness

by Radclyffe Hall

GL · LiteraryComplete56 chapters

The most famous lesbian novel in the English language. Stephen Gordon is born to aristocratic parents who wanted a son — and grows up knowing she is different in a world with no place for her. From a childhood crush on a housemaid to the ambulance units of the First World War and the salons of Paris, Stephen’s search for love and dignity became so notorious that Britain banned the book in 1928. A landmark of queer literature, unabridged.
