Solitaire and Brahms
An insightful and tender novel about a woman recognizing the freedoms and fears associated with self-discovery. Dreher's main character, Shelby Camden, is a complex, witty, kind career woman who maintains the strong facade of happiness in spite of her nagging depression, migraine-like headaches, and an unfulfilling engagement to the man of her mother's dreams. Set in the sixties during the dawn of the sexual revolution and women's movement, this work portrays the pre-Stonewall mentality of the country, a time when being lesbian meant certain ostracism, self-hatred, and often psychiatric intervention. Camden is a young woman, not terribly brave, caught between her desire for a conventional life and her deeper yearnings for a career as a magazine editor and a blossoming friendship with a warm easy-going, but rather secretive woman we discover is lesbian.
