Author Description

From award-winning author Karen Tulchinsky comes a comic story of negotiating long-distance romance and a meddling family in contemporary lesbian life. Jewish lesbian Nomi Rabinovitch heads the lovable cast of characters in this rollicking tale of hopes, dreams, and the obstacles that conspire to confound them. Also in the mix is Nomi's AIDS activist cousin Henry, her wise guy Uncle Solly, and her hilarious mother who learned everything she knows about lesbians from Phil Donahue. Switching between Nomi's home in San Francisco and Toronto, where Henry and Nomi's new girlfriend Julie live, this novel poignantly portrays the fin de siecle struggles of its characters, including the personal, the political, and the unexpected.
