Illustrated dust jacket by Stephanie Tevonian of a Lesbian couple in a pastoral setting. Set in the nineteenth century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship and "Boston marriage" between Patience White, a painter, and Sarah Dowling, a farmer, whose romantic bond is tested by their puritanical New England town. First self-published in 1969 (titled A Place for Us) in an edition of 1,000 copies, the author hand-sold the book on New York street corners; it garnered increasing attention to the point of receiving the American Library Association's first Gay Book Award in 1971.

It celebrates the joys of an uninhibited love between two strong women with a confident defiance that remains relevant today. The pages are clean and crisp; this book is in very good condition.…
