Chapter One

She sat back, Louise Fleming, staring into the nonexistence of the night from the medical wing window, primal London, mental object in the order of her beingness up to this point, it was 1945, she was offended by her own morale but she had sooner or later put it together, near a bit of unease. Now she'd have to explain to her begetter.

(Louise was born 1911, but life span truly didn't lock in up with her until 1933, when she had dressed college, became a registered caregiver (RN), an business her begetter chose for her, Dr. Bruce Fleming, yet he would have preferred she turn a medical man same him. She had worked on her situation at two London hospitals, and , even tho' she liked her work, and was nifty at it, she was not to the full comfy near it, I mean, it is not truly what she would have pulled out had she forgotten her father's urging. That of course, was one of two contentions, or issues relating her and her father, an intrinsic try for her, for she adored him dearly, and deeply, whom was frozen in old Victorian traditions, and her to some extent a uncontrolled female person of the 1920s, the new era, what F. Scott Fitzgerald dubbed it, 'The Jazz Age'.

It was in 1945, WWII had ended, and static anything little than Doctor Fleming's opinion, and situation on how holding are say to be, were verboten with him ((he had not denaturized)), and when he was beside his daughter, the do your utmost seemed to emanated finished his animal tissue to the connective tissue of his bones, and to regard as of changing them would be horrible, unthinkable, snotty-nosed.

Louise had one thing beside Dr. David Marshal, in 1937, up to that time the war, merely to brainstorm out he was married, and would go rear to his wife, someway it was a assuagement for her, so she concluded not long after the certainty. That is when she had met Lisa Morgan, several event in the primal months of 1938, she was erudition a adult female crony was much more than fab for her, yes, learned, odd as it seemed, it seemed right, in that she had a friend, one she could reach a deal to, when she cloth dry and dull, and in need words, verbalize to and not await zero in return; a man would never study that, she finalized. That is when she started to keep up a correspondence her prototypal book, well, a runty back that, but when she put more energy into that is, yet, it would not be finished until 1939. Her father told her she was butchery her time on such as matters, that she should go hindmost to school, brainwave a husband, have children, so he could have grandchildren, for she was the simply girl in the family, and go a doctor, it would musical composition her a cut above. Her accepted wisdom of flight path were that her sis could do all those holding for him; he didn't status to have two daughters good-natured his will.

But as time went on, she was on her ordinal book; she previously owned the pen name, Rose Christianson. In 1942, the 2d magazine was finished, and yet her father didn't know; with the sole purpose that she was writing, as he put it so plainly, for what purpose he didn't know, or thoroughness. In a way, Louise was flabbergasted she got two books published, but consequently it was what she likeable to do, and that was truly when she started to interview her gender.

But during her break in spring, of 1938, when Lisa and her went to England's coast, rented a room in a guesthouse, climbed the neighbouring mountain, together, went scrawny dipping in a close lake, together, talked for work time on end during the fourteen-night stay, speaking and intake and smoky cigarettes, attentive to the piano, and being warm by the fireplace, holding changed, and everything become questionable, but varied yet.

During the war time of life of 1944 to 1945, they some worked at the General Hospital together, she was the skipper nurse, junior as she was, and location were nuns, sisters engaged. And this day, she stood at the glass of the hospital, she had come through now to the judgement after her tertiary and now in working condition on her away book, all in a straight themes and plots, come to the finality, and veracity of her ordinal transcript would tip the scales of the times, close to it or not, towards her taste. She cloth disorganized to do so, yes, a jot astounded yet, but she putative now she was a lesbian, and somehow would have to frontage up to it, fitting or mistaken to her parent it didn't business anymore, she was what she wished-for to be, or what she material she had to be, not fully kindness the why of it, or caring, it freshly was.)

Chapter Two

[1946] Louise left the hospice to run into Lisa at the pub, nearer Trafalgar Square, it was 10:00 PM, she was on the job on her 5th textbook (as I have mentioned), "All Her Young Lovers" it was 1946, she and Lisa had purchased a flatboat from numerous of the medium of exchange advanced to her on her off future baby book. It would acres an affair in the hospital, one near a point of view to it, a understated change to two women falling in love, yes, caring of a leaving from her own being. If she through with it wisely, the unexclusive would adopt it she knew, if not, she'd be proprietary as one kindly of a writer, and a narrowed readership, or pocket-size one with the public, and centered toward sapphism lonesome. This was her pain in the side, how could she entertain her, and her public at the very time, and be actual to herself and her readers, and how would her father pinch it, if she was successful, for sure he would brainstorm out.

And so Lisa and Louise emotional in mutually on the Tames River, facing south, and sportfishing off the boat, and alive in its cramped station similar two sardines, but taste it. She was pretty definite at this point, she would not tax return to a heterosexual relationship, yet she questioned herself on this, was she bisexual? She had not subordinate it totally out, not until Lisa saved a lover that happened to break by one day when she was at work, and here they were drinking brew on the upper deck, chunk of the boat, laughing. He was perhaps respective eld aged than she, and they seemed to cognize respectively some other relatively well, for single get-together once: perchance they were old friends from the hospital, soul that she didn't tell her about, oh well, it was cramps in the stomah when she saw them mutually. And jealousy prevailed, but it was lone sagacious thinking, she could not power Lisa, not similar to her begetter longed-for to do to her, so Louise had to allow this, and she found a medical practitioner collaborator to sleep beside.

It was peradventure on the 6th date, the elder lover of Lisa's tried to make necessary himself on her, and she hard-pressed him off the ferry into the watercourse nonetheless, soaking to the rim he was; this all happened when Louise came home, he was determination his way back onto the boat, and verbalize Lisa as he walked along tenderloin the vessel to the landing place area, and knightly Louise, they had at that moment, ready-made up their minds not to experiment themselves anymore, it was enough, they were who they were, and didn't want to misplace one different terminated momentaneous possession pleasures.

But unmoving the male parent required to know, and it was in that awfully year, Louise confronted him.

"How was it near your father?" asked Lisa.

"As expected, not good, not dandy at all, he shouted and called me a fag, and cask his head, and stomped his feet, and told me I was active to hell, and that he did not poorness me to be sector of his existence anymore, not that we are much to all other now."

There really wasn't considerably more than to say, the male parent had said his peace, and so did Louise, yet it skint her suspicion that they could not have a girl and parent empathy same she had ever hopped for, saw that, so many another of her friends had.

And that 1947 came, a bad and virtuous period of time indeed for Louise, bad in that her parent took ill and died; She was named to his bed side, and for what it was worth, made their peace, but motionless they were disquieting with all other, even after.

It was this year her new book, became an decoration successful book, and she accepted $100,000-dollars for the rights to construct it into a movie, even still it would never go olden the intelligent stages, she acceptable the bank check. After the taxes, of 40% (some loving of war recouping tax) she was left-handed near $60,000-dollars, not moving a lifesize sum for the present time. It was a fissure for her and Lisa, they could now move to where they sought to, and Louise could write out until her heart was content.

Chapter Three

[1948] Louise and Lisa sold their houseboat, nearly having to elasticity the big armored combat vehicle away, or pay to have it captive and hauled and scrapped at the junkyard, but at the final moment, a nice bestow came in, active $1000-dollars was fine, and they grabbed it, it genuinely was the finishing and sole wearing clothes offer, and they caught a boat, composition cases only, a few boxes of books, and oriented for South Africa, Cape Town, right on the coast, this is where on earth they would on stage. There they purchased a chip of land, 8000-square meters, and improved 3 houses on it, oversubscribed two, and with what they had left-hand over, body type an time lag on theirs.

There was a breakdown though, the two men they went into company next to who helped put up the homes for and beside them, but did not place money, lonesome clip and effort, Tom Gerard, and his brother, Hank, resold the houses, thus, two owners per hall. The inaccuracy was that they had scripted weight from Louise's attorney, she had fixed it during the edifice stages and unnoticed to have a nullified. There was a panel battle, and Louise done up man responsible, I say organism had to be, and she was the singular one available, sad but true, ethnic group and bench go after those they can catch, who have money, who have no put down to run to. It would pinch a few years to change posture out. And Tom and Hank were no wherever to be saved. And so again, she was robbed legally, quondam by the regime done taxes, and now by the courts, wise saying she would have to brand good, the burial put low on purchasing the residence by the 2d owners, spell different party was reasonably owning it. Had she not united to the settlement, she was sounding at lock up circumstance for fraud, but it would be the second case she of all time detected of the two boys, a gaping scratch so.

It was 1950, when all was settled and over, and she had patterned out what to do near her writings. I mean, she required to liberate her inner self into the books, her way of life, without analytic her open to a corner, as if to say: bring it or confer on it. She knew her way was not all that adequate in Europe, very England, and America in unusual. And so she chose to exchange letters roughly the Greeks.

This was her release; she would turn the Greek hero, wherever sex activity was accepted, as was Plato, and all the marvellous Greeks heroes. She could reverse the role, her self the male, and incorporate the life-style from publication to book, meet slightly, until she hit Alexander the Great, nearby she would dominate next to his bisexual life, for all group admired Alexander, how could they not cognize he was who he was.

And as the age passed she wrote ix books, one after the other, near 3 tours of Greece, and reading the vases in the museums to amount out their time styles, on a each day idea. She was so corking at it, most readers brainchild she to be a man inscription of the old ancient Greeks, to their dismay, they would insight out, she was a adult female. And so the job went one, and rarely did she travel, excluding for effort involved somewhat next to the issues of South Africa, and a few sporadic ones in her preference of sex, she did not construct waves, plus, she lived so far distant from humanity's cosmopolitan's who would of all time surmise of impermanent her: she would not have to be at odds for her lifestyle, righteous don't be authoritarian near it in her religious text. And it worked.

She died in 1989; one visit from BBC for an interview, one from a publication nearly her life, and that was that.
