Description
"The Gilda Stories is groundbreaking not just for the wild lives it portrays, but for how it portrays them - communally, unapologetically, roaming fiercely over space and time." (Emma Donoghue, author of Room)
"Jewelle Gomez sees right into the heart. This is a book to give to those you want most to find their own strength." (Dorothy Allison)
This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home.
An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

Not very fictional, fiction novel
I really enjoyed following along with Gilda. Her story is relatable to women throughout history. I loved the characters and found them very genuine and believable. A great read for anyone interested in women's rights, BIPOC rights, and/or LGBTQ+ rights. Although it's a fantasy novel, it's very close to home.
I am torn about the last section in the book, but it's interesting to have a future segment.
