From man to man, or, Perhaps only ...

" This is the story of two sisters, Rebekah and Bertie, brought up in isolation on a tree-covered farm, tucked away among the ribs of a mountain in the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa). We see Rebekah marry and become the mother of three sons, constantly humiliated by her philandering husband, while Bertie, the younger and more beautiful sister drifts from youthful seduction to life as a prostitute in London. Both women are betrayed through their sexuality, but this is a powerful novel with many themes, remarkable for its celebration of sisterhood and female creativity and its impassioned plea for greater love and understanding between women and men."--CoverSee more
