I read it about a year ago and I loved it. I think the author is Rita Mae Brown, if im not mistaken. I deffinitely recommend it as well as most of Brown's other books. :)
...I had my daughter in 1978 and was very unhappy living a heterosexual life (I wasn't married). I felt like I was living a lie and I was. I bought the book at my local drug store and read it and read it again. That book gave me the courage I needed to just come out and live my life as it should be lived, with women.
I am thankful everyday that I found that book. Thank you Rita Mae, for that gift!
I read it once in college and once again more recently. It's pretty interesting. In some ways, I didn't care for it all that much but in others, I related quite a bit. I found it to be pretty realistic.
Not sure exactly what you're looking for here but yes, I've read it lol. Come to think of it, I let a friend of mine borrow it a while ago and she hasn't returned it yet...
That said, I liked her book Alma Mater better. It's kind of a messed up story but I enjoyed it more.
I defintely read Rubyfruit Jungle when I was 19years old as a freshman in college. The book by Rita Mae Brown was part of a curriculum in a freshmen womyn only course. I'm so glad during that time I was exposed to it and tons of other LGBTQI stuff. I was blessed to attend a liberal private university. Also, during that time I've gone on to read other Rita Mae Brown books . I have to say RFJ is one of my favorite books by RMB and of all times.
This book was her first official book. Rubyfruit was the second of her books that I read. It was one of my absolute favourites. I started reading it in Chapters (Canadian version of Borders). Within the first three chapters I had been to both extremes of emotion: Laughed til I hurt and cried out of sadness. Rita Mae Brown wrote an awesome book. I recommend most, if not all of her books. Six of One and it's sequel, Bingo, are hysterically funny. I haven't read the next sequel, Loose Lips, but I'm sure it will delight. Venus Envy is another wonderful feel-good novel. Southern Discomfort goes to an unexpected place, but is a marvelous book. Rita Mae Brown is one of my all-time favourite authors, right along with Sarah Waters. They both write well and bring their characters to life. 5 Stars to them both and their books!
I think the subjuct saids it all. Ive been looking for awhile for that book. Come to think of it since october. If anyone can tell me where to find that bloody thing that would be really great, I would like to read it befor I graute from high school. :)
