Product Description
From Booklist
A government grant takes lesbian artist Caz Hewson north to Newcastle and away from "the five, nearly six, best years of her life," spent in a London house shared after college with six art-school friends. She surprises herself by staying in the northern England city for years and transforming the last in a series of apartments--a reeking, filthy, rent-subsidized flat in the middle of post-Thatcherite blight--into a clean, freshly painted environment decorated with mythological dragons, flying pigs, and other whimsical creatures. Into her new setting come new friends, some earthly, some of another realm entirely; some many years her senior, some her contemporaries; and one from the past whom, with a survivor's guilt, she dreads confronting. Told extensively in British slang and regional idiom, this meandering story of finding warmth, community, vitality, and hope is a welcome addition to lesbian fiction. Whitney Scott

Just loved it!, July 13 2000
By Ruth Hudson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skyhook in the Midnight Sun (Paperback)
A great work by Fiona Cooper. I really empathized with Caz and felt her pain and loss as though they were my own. A simple, well written book that deals with both the fairy tale and the realistic side of life.
