Parachute Silk cover

A novel in two voices, 'Parachute Silk' consists of letters between two women friends who discuss in depth their feelings and share their lives by corresponding. They send poems, letters and long explanations and stories of their lives. This is a beautifully written novel with a deft touch. The language sings, even as the women come to grips with issues around sexuality, children and the exigencies of an unplanned life.

"A must for any woman who has cherished the written word in the form of a letter." --Michelle Grant, "Lesbiana"
