  From a writer of astonishing versatility and erudition comes this brave and remarkable book exploring the little-known literary tradition of love between women in Western literature, from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Charlotte Bronte, Dickens, Agatha Christie and many more. Donoghue writes about the half-dozen contrasting girl-girl plots that have been told and retold over the centuries, metamorphosing from generation to generation. Inseparable reveals a centuries-old literary tradition that is brilliant, amusing and, until now, has been deliberately overlooked.
