Praise for 'Beyond the Pale' by Elana Dykewomon:"One of the most compelling novels I have ever read.... A work of remarkable importance."- 'The Village Voice' "One of the best books of the year.... Compelling, honest and unselfconscious."- 'The Toronto Star' "Truly great novels aren't written very often, but 'Beyond the Pale' deserves all the glowing adjectives available."- 'Bay Area Reporter' "A moving chronicle."- 'Publishers Weekly' "A page-turner.... Recommended for allcollections."- 'Library Journal' Elana Dykewomon's extraordinarily well-received novel 'Beyond the Pale' was first published in 1997 and won both the Lambda Literary Award and the Ferro-Grumley Award. It is firmly established as a classic text in the canon of lesbian literature. 'Risk' is the longed-for follow-up from Dykewomon. 'Risk' is a beautifully told story that spans the years from the mid-eighties to the post-9/11 world. Carol is an idealistic, Berkeley-educated, Jewish lesbian living in Oakland, California. Downwardly mobile, the Berkeley grad makes her living by tutoring high school students. Through Carol's life, Dykewomon explores the changing times and values in America. Elana Dykewomon is an activist, author, and teacher, and she has a fiercely dedicated readership that has been eagerly awaiting her next novel for a dozen years. One of the finest thinkers-and writers-the women's movement has produced, Dykewomon has worked for the last fifteen years as an editorand teacher of composition and creative writing, both independently and for San Francisco State University.

The plot is kind of hard to explain because the story takes place over a lot of years, and it seems to jump around a lot. At least it seemed that way to me. I would be reading it and wondering if it was a few days later, a year later, or a few years later.
I don’t really even have much to say about the characters. They were kind of blah. That is the best way to describe them. Even though I was disappointed, confused, and didn’t find the characters that interesting, I just couldn’t give it the two stars I would usually give a book that I thought was just okay. Maybe it deserves three stars and maybe it doesn’t. This was a hard book for me to rate and review. Maybe if you see it for cheap or free you could give it a read and see what you think.
Have you read this book? If you have what did you think of it? (
