Karen | 351 comments Happy April all and many thanks to those who joined in the buddy read last month reading 'They Were Sisters' by Dorothy Whipple.
Despised and Rejected ( book no: 126) by Rose Allatini was first published 100 years ago under the pseudonym 'AT Fitzroy' (the author lived at Fitzroy Street W1).
Despised and Rejected was much ahead of its time in its depiction of homosexual love and desire.

Alwynne | 47 comments I thought this was useful background reading on the treatment of conscientious objectors outlined in the novel:
