Book Reviews of Love's Masquerade
Book Review: Classic Radclyffe
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit Radclyffe has never written a book I don't like. I like some more than others, but my second read of `Love's Masquerade' was a enjoyable as the first. Not only is her work enjoyable, it is also memorable. I first read the book about three years ago and found the characters and story details coming back to me as I turned each page.
Here, Radclyffe introduces the characters of Auden Frost and Hays Palmer. Auden is an unemployed editor who applies for a job at Palmer Publishing. The job she originally applied for has been filled. However, Hays senses a hidden talent and hires Auden to run Palmer's recent acquisition of a small lesbian fiction publishing house. Straight-as-a-board Auden isn't sure if she'll be successful, but is soon intrigued by the genre and silently discovers new aspects of herself.
Auden eventually learns Hays has two well-hidden secrets. The first is that Hays writes under a pen name as a lesbian fiction author. Secondly, Hays is suffering from a rare, life-threatening disease. As the women begin to rely upon each other more and more, they also fall in love. Hays is scared to expose her feelings due to her illness. Auden is scared as well, but for her inexperience in loving women.
Certainly one of Radclyffe's best early books, `Masquerade' is well worth the investment and will continue to be a permanent part of my personal collection.
