The Same Sea as Every Summer

"Lots of people lately have bemoaned the lack of creative, sexy lesbian sex in our fiction. Esther Tusquets had long ago remedied that in Post-Franco Spain, and now we are the lucky beneficiaries of a wonderful translation of her first published novel, The Same Sea as Every Summer, which swims and splashes in women's sexuality. . . . An exquisitely beautiful book."-Lesbian News. Tusquets's langorous language, lengthy sentences, and minutely detailed observations are reminiscent of Proust, as are her painful meditations on lust and jealousy. . . . Poetic, erotic, and ironic The Same Sea just has to be CL's novel of the year."-City Limits, London.Translated by Margaret E. W. Jones.
