THE MIDDLE MIST (known as THE FRIENDLY YOUNG LADIES in Britain) would be considered a lesbian/bisexual romance. [Terrence Lockyer writes]: These titles earned Renault the means, both from the books themselves and especially from a substantial award from MGM for her fourth novel, Return to Night (which, however, was not subsequently filmed), to emigrate to South Africa in 1948 with her companion, Julie Mullard, whom she had met while both were training as nurses. Her financial independence also allowed her to travel, and she did so widely in Greece, which was to become the setting of her later and best known novels, which combined information drawn from ancient sources with the insights of modern work on ancient history. XX [Synopsis of THE MIDDLE MIST]: ?When seventeen-year-old Elsie runs away from home, she seeks out her older sister Leo, only to find Leo sharing a houseboat, and a bed, with the beautiful, fair-haired Helen. When Elsie decides to stay for a bit, she turns Helen and Leo's lifestyle upside down. An enchanting portrait of Bohemian life in 1930s London, this delightfully provocative romantic comedy was written in 1943 in opposition to the despair characteristic of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness or Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour.? [From Wikipedia bio]: ?Mary Renault (1905-1983) was the pseudonym of Eileen Mary Challans. She was born in England but moved to South Africa where she and her partner became part of a group of gay expatriates, although she expressed opposition to gay rights movements. She wrote six contemporary novels and eight historical adventures plus two non-fiction books. She worked as a nurse, the setting for her first novel.?
