"To my knowledge, Loving Her is the first novel about an interracial lesbian relationship written by a black woman. Viewed as an artistic work, I think the novel fails. But in its exploration of a daring subject boldly shared (and written by a librarian at Fisk University) I think it has immense value. It enables us to see and understand, perhaps for the first time, the choices certain women have made about how they will live their lives, and allows us glimpses at physical intimacies between women that have been, in the past, deliberately ridiculed or obscured."

"I remember going to my first “gay” film festival in the ’70s, with its tiny newsprint program, folding chairs for the audience, a complete underground experience. I asked my companion, “When do we see a lesbian movie?” Chantal Akerman’s avant-garde jewel was my first. My God, talk about ahead of her time. A proto-punk dyke protagonist, a butch, a whore, an outlaw, the unrepentant seize-fiend of all she sees . . . We still fight for glimpses of such antiheroines in the movies. Julie/Chantal is, regretfully, still a woman on the edge of antipatriarchal time."

I don’t know what I expected from this book, but it exceeded my expectations. It was fascinating and Evaristo really shares a lot of herself: her triumphs, her failures, her good and bad relationships. She tells us about the lesbian relationships she had through her 20’s, and talks of her relationship and marriage with her husband. Her determination to run theatre companies with and for black women, telling black womens stories.
But it’s her perseverance that stays with me well after I’ve finished the book. She really didn’t give up, no matter the circumstances.
This is well worth reading.
