Looking for historical lesbians with an interesting dynamic

…by which I mean not just two standard femmes in the exact same life circumstances.

The Price of Salt and The Safekeep were heroin to my brain and I need more.

Bonus points if there’s an (uncreepy) age gap because I’m unreasonably attracted to older women, also bonus points for a Mediterranean or generally European setting but really any setting is fine.

It’s also fine if the lesbians in question are:

– not actually lesbians, but otherwise part of a vaguely sapphic dynamic (obviously!)

– only subtextually queer, not explicitly

– side characters in a bigger franchise

Also, by historical I just mean either written before 1995 or set before 1995. Honestly even a contemporary setting would be fine, I just wanted to make the title a bit more specific

Thank you in advance for any suggestions 🙂

Edit: forgot to mention I’m already reading my way through Sarah Waters’ catalogue of works. Especially Tipping the Velvet was… a formative experience lol
