5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, Warm, Spellbinding Jan 18 2002
By Janet Kreger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Grass Widow is a wonderful lesbian romance novel, set in the 1870s in an unforgiving rural Kansas, and peopled by independent and tenaciously loving women. Nanci Little has done a superb job in capturing the harshness and pleasures of everyday life back then and the political issues of the day. What impressed me the most, and added greatly to the novel's interest and intelligence, was the thought given to the personalities and emotional development of the principal characters. They have deep flaws, but their essential goodness and willingness to learn and change win out in the end.

Little has written an excellent novel. She captures the nuances of personality, speech and mannerisms as few authors can. And the love scenes will take your breath away.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary story of two women in love Feb 12 1999
By Carol Mortimer (npwc08a@prodigy.com) - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Nanci Little's THE GRASS WIDOW is the tenderest of lesbian love stories, set against the harshness of Kansas in the 1870s. I cherish this novel, and have read it 4 or 5 times so far. With each visit, I find more to love. // Ms. Little's central characters are a young farmer, Jocelyn (Joss) Bodett, and her distant cousin from Maine, Aidan Blackstone, who comes to live with her. With no precedents for their feelings or their actions, they fall deeply in love. // These are young women of tremendous strength, who must find their own way in a world that challenges them frequently and severely. Yet they triumph with a resounding clarity of will, perseverence, and love. Through the strength of their love, they overcome both their harsh environment and their society's conventions and restrictions.// This book is reminiscent of the wonderful PATIENCE AND SARAH by Isabel Miller. If there is any justice in the world, it will become as beloved in the lesbian community as P&S, for it provides an even clearer look into another time and place, and its characters are even more wonderfully drawn. // This is an exquisite novel that is most definitely NOT to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Aug 2 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A wonderful story that defines great literature. Ms. Little has captured real life in the 1800's with the hardships and heartaches of genuine characters. Her use of period language and phrasing makes this a 'Steinbeck' type read. The two women in this novel are captivating and realistic. I can't say enough about this story. I felt like I was there with them. I am now going on my 7th reading.
