	All Books by Helen Hodgman - Author of : Waiting for Matindi Paperback - 176 pages (December 1, 1999) Ballantine Books (Trd Pap); ISBN: 0345417747 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Recovering from an operation in the Australian countryside and Bondi Beach, the wry, ever-observant narrator of Helen Hodgman's beautifully written new novel waits as life washes over her like waves on the sand. Sensing that her lover is pulling away, yet feeling powerless in the face of this imminent loss, she is a woman in search of something that will define her life. Then, into her slowly shattering world comes the promise of change, or at the very least, distraction, with the imminent arrival of Matindi from Kenya. Beautiful, mysterious Matindi. The friend of a friend with an exotic past who becomes a human talisman, the intoxicating allure of expectation--or is she? Somewhere between truth and fiction, laughter and tears, wait the realities that will forever alter this tiny community of friends and lovers." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by D. Gisele Isaac - Author of : Considering Venus Paperback - 141 pages 1 edition (June 1998) Seaburn Books; ISBN: 1885778422 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "This book explores the almost-unacknowledged issue of lesbianism among Caribbean women and adds to it the complication of a heterosexual perspective. Considering Venus asks, "What happens when girlfriends becomes more than friends?" Two forty-something women meet again 25 years after high school: Lesley, an African-American, is straight, recently widowed with three children, and looking for a friend, while Cass is Antiguan, gay and looking for love. Cass finds all that she is looking for in Lesley; but would telling her the truth be a confession of love or a betrayal of their friendship? When Cass does tell her, Lesley runs away, denying her own feelings and conflicted about the whole idea of women loving women. She knows that she is not gay and fears being labeled that way. Her return chronicles the many ways in which women form attachments and how friendship and love are interwoven into a unique type of relationship. Lesley learns that labels are simply society's way of expressing its prejudices, and love, ultimately, is what really matters, regardless of its gender. On the other hand, Cass experiences the exhilaration that accompanies finding her soulmate, even as she experiences the pain and distance that come with loving a straight woman. In Antigua and in New York, family members and their stories are woven into the novel as each woman becomes a presence in the other's life. In Lesley's case, however, her children are not told the true nature of the relationship. The children's discovery of what the women are to each other violently forces the issue to a head, as everyone involved looks at his or her own fears and prejudices and determines where to go from there. Considering Venus attempts to shatter stereotypes and portray gays and those who love them as they are: only people. People whose lives are no different from the mainstream. People who work, pay bills, love their families, and worry about growing old. The novel is not racial, not strident, nor political. There is nothing sensationalistic about Considering Venus, except that two people can still meet, fall in love and determine to live as happily as they can."
