Comments

"Whether the relationship was sexual, theirs was a deeply loving friendship, and reading their letters leaves a sense of wonder that they felt so free to give themselves this gift. 'Never forget, dear one, how deeply I have loved you all these years,' Carson wrote less than a year before her death. And if, as Carson believed, 'immortality through memory is real,' few who read these letters will forget these remarkable women and their even more remarkable bond."
