The Love of Women
Denise Neuhaus 

 

   

THE LOVE OF WOMEN is a story of murder, female sexuality, and one woman's discovery of what it means to be a feminist. Kristina has transformed herself into her ideal woman: educated, experienced, cultured, stylish, at ease with her bisexuality. But now she finds herself unemployed and broke. Forced to return to her mother's suburban home in Houston, she feels lost, directionless. Against her better judgement, she falls into an affair with a naïve, emotionally vulnerable younger woman. The disastrous consequences of her actions force Kristina to question her values for the first time and lead her to reassess her chauvinistic behavior towards women.
