Yeah I only got into it because I had to study it in my undergrad degree. It's not really wrapped in lesbianism at all, but more so about female bonds and empowerment. It is really depressing though, and it made me really sad
But it's written in the form of letters, and it's really interesting to see how the letters change as they become more educated, literate and empowered. I reckon you'd find it worthwhile, though.
