Selling a new copy of Olivia by Dorothy Strachey



I found out I've got double copies, so selling it at 6$. Do message 97827706 :)

Considered one of the most subtle and beautifully written lesbian novels of the century, this 1949 classic returns to print in a Cleis Press edition.

Dorothy Strachey’s classic Olivia captures the awakening passions of an English adolescent sent away for a year to a small finishing school outside Paris. The innocent but watchful Olivia develops an infatuation for her headmistress, Mlle. Julie, and through this screen of love observes the tense romance between Mlle. Julie and the other head of the school, Mlle. Cara, in its final months. In 1999, Olivia was included on the Publishing Triangle’s widely publicized list of the 100 Best Gay and Lesbian Novels of the 20th Century.

This is an article which was published on Wall Street Journal in 11 July 2000. Since Mediacorp is so much into Potter mania, showing us one instalment every week, let's see what the famous critic, Bloom has to say about it. (Maintaineer, if you are worry about copyright issue, please feel free to remove it.)    :)
