The Purple Bowtie Gabi Grubb

Inspired by a true story, The Purple Bowtie by Lisabeth Reynolds is a tale of gay love that bridges women's lives from the lesbian salons of 1920's Paris to the 1980's Miami gay rights movement and the devastating impact of AIDS. In part the novel is a tribute to a friend who believed in sexual freedom and fought for it by making his life public. The Purple Bowtie is a page-turner that charts intense relationships and deep tragedy. It speaks to all women who nurse a desire for creative, sexual and intellectual freedom. It is a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows that will inspire as it fascinates.
