SLANT by Katherine O'donnell

SLANT by Katherine O'donnell

Aground-breaking Irish lesbian love story, set across the decades from the 1980s AIDS crisis to the 2015 marriage referendum. Now in paperback. -- AKW

A heartfelt celebration of all kinds of queer love 

-- Alice Linehan * Gay Community News *

it’s love that begins and ends the novel, and the book concludes poetically, coming full circle to when truth again seems to be wearing the clothes of fiction, or perhaps the other way around, or maybe, as the title and Emily Dickenson suggest, something altogether more oblique

-- Ruth McKee * Irish Times *

A powerful story, laced with passion, soul, infatuation and love.

-- Aisling Arundel * Totally Dublin *
