Timeless and Beautiful

This was the author's first published novel. Already a published author with articles and short stories, practice does make perfect as the writing is first rate. The reader is drawn into the lives of Annie & Victoria and all who enter their world. I was so enamored by them, that at the end of the novel I wanted to search out the author's 12 other books in hopes of catching a glimpse of them. The novel is laced with humor and passion. I especially enjoyed Victoria and Annie's sharing their hopes, fears, and dreams with each other. They are truly alive in spirit to the reader. From the back of the book - Annie Heaphy, cab driving baby butch, lives a life of freedom in a shack on the Connecticut coast. Her dislike of Yalies and all they represent at first extends to beautiful, self-possessed Victoria Locke. Then they fall in love and both their worlds change forever. TOOTHPICK HOUSE is their story, but it is also the story of the women's movement, the changes it brings to traditional Lesbian lives, and the ways in which it affected all young women of the 1970s.
