Patience and Sarah

Author(s): Isabel Miller

Lesbian Fiction

Set in the 19th century, this lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White, an educated painter, and Sarah Dowling, a cross-dressing farmer, whose romantic bond does not sit well with the puritanical New England farming community in which they live. Ultimately, they are forced to make life-changing decisions.


A lesbian historical romance that is a literary touchstone for early-70s gay liberation.
