Some classic lit favourites of mine -

Oranges are Not the Only Fruit. A bit angsty but the narrator has a marvelous voice, and it's so vivid.

The Price of Salt/Carol. Nobody dies! No tragedy! Amazing!

Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith. Yes, these are the OTT lesbian historical novels Waters got famous for, and I still love them. The Paying Guests and Night Watch are also good, but pretty traumatic.

Desert of the Heart, Jane Rule. Basis for the early FF movie Desert Hearts, also non-tragic, very well-written.

Mrs Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing, by May Sarton, also made into a really good indie movie https://vimeo.com/ondemand/mrsstevens/169453929

Torchlight to Valhalla/The Strange Path by Gale Wilhelm - I found this through a booklist. It's beautifully written but apparently she decided to stop writing after she turned 40, which is really a bummer.

You can try to pry Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe from my cold dead hands.

Patience and Sarah, ditto. I picked this up at a young age and it really stuck with me.

Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins - usually Emma Donoghue is too grim for me (Frog Music, NO) but this is one of the first "reimagined fairy tales" books I read and it still really holds up.

Olivia, Dorothy Bussy - I got this from a booklist too. It was dedicate to Virginia Woolf and published by the Hogarth Press. It was a little slow going, but beautifully written. Reminded me a lot of Colette.

After watching The Handmaiden I now want an Asian drama version of Tipping the Velvet.
