Synopsis

AN INTIMATE THROWBACK IN AN ERA OF POLITICALLY-CHARGED LGBT LITERATURE

Two lesbian couples, one summer weekend: a searing novel of longing and regret.

In this intimate, sexy novel, two lesbian couples living next door to each other over a summer in cottage country find each of their relationships at a crossroads.

One woman celebrates her 50th birthday, which causes her to reconsider what she wants out of life and her partner; the other couple are the parents of a new baby, which cannot conceal the turmoil of their relationship.

Weekend is a plaintive, moving exploration of the true nature of love; about trust, negotiation and what's worth keeping in the end.
