@Fran
Hope you like "Daughters of Rome". I quite enjoyed it. Have you read "Mistress of Rome" first?

Off topic but I was in the hairdressers this am & had a long chat with the girl doing my hair about The Hypnotist which I had recommended to her on my last visit (not a book to discuss with someone wielding a scissors close to your head) but she is loving it. Now can you possibly guess what author I recommended she read next?

I now move on to the The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, (quoting from the back of the book) "originally published in 1928, [this] is the timeless story of a lesbian couple's struggle to be accepted in "polite" society." It is largely autobiographical, banned in its time and still relevant today in dealing with homophobic attitudes in society.
