Set in the nineteenth century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship and "Boston marriage" between Patience White, a painter, and Sarah Dowling, a farmer, whose romantic bond is tested by their puritanical New England town. First self-published in 1969 (titled A Place for Us) in an edition of 1,000 copies, the author hand-sold the book on New York street corners; it garnered increasing attention to the point of receiving the American Library Association's first Gay Book Award in 1971.
