Produktinformationen "A Language of Limbs"
"Newcastle, Australia, 1972. On a sticky summer night, a choice must be made: to give in to queer desire or suppress it; to venture into the unknown or stay the course. In alternating chapters, we trace the two versions of a life that follows. In one, a teenage girl is caught kissing her neighbor and is kicked out from her home. She lands at a queer communal home in Sydney called Uranian House, where she meets the people who will forever become her family. Meanwhile, in the second, a teenage girl pushes down her lustful dreams of her best friend and eventually makes her way to a university in Sydney to study English literature. During pivotal moments, the physical space between these two women closes--like when they each meet the first great loves of their lives in 1977 at a protest, or when, almost a decade later, they are both rushed to the hospital with only a curtain between them"--
