Pages for You : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Lyrical, Observant, and Literate
Review: With the first paragraph, I was addicted.

Pages for You is an intelligent, beautifully articulated exploration sexual awakening in an academic setting. The text can neither be categorized as "lesbian fiction" nor a "coming of age story". It defies genres and resists pigeon-holing.

Over 264 we follow Flannery through her first encounters with college life, Derrida, intense longing, sex, and eventually a newfound sense of self as the result of loss. Brownrigg's flair for thick description never comes at the expense of the story and the reader is treated to what amounts to a first-hand experience of Flannery's awakenings.

For anyone that has ever found him/herself in awe of another or felt erotic stirrings coupled with intellectual hunger, Pages for You is a must read.
