Our first book club read of the year was Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness, a slightly longer novel written in the 1920s.
As the name suggests, the book wasn’t the most soul cheering piece of prose ever written; the novel tells a story of Stephen, a girl whose parents wanted and expected a boy, and so they christened her with the name of the boy they had anticipated.

But we were all very relieved when it arrived on Tuesday.
