BookView Review: Loving Artemis, an endearing tale of revolution, love and marriage by Janet Mason
Mason spins a stunning tale of resiliency, compassion, revolution, and courage in her latest novel that takes readers on two women’s journey of love and contentment. The daring and fiercely strong-minded Artemis have always known her preference for girls. When Linda comes into her life, a passionate relationship begins. But Linda soon disappears from Artemis’s life, leaving her heartbroken. The latter starts dealing drugs and has a brief relationship with Grace. Eventually, Artemis and Grace also separate, choosing different paths in life. Now decades later, both women have their new lives. But when Grace spots Artemis in a pride parade, she realizes she still has feelings for Artemis. LGBTQ intrigue and self-discovery create a vivid backdrop to a narrative that carefully details the toll of intolerance and bigotry. Mason’s flair for characterization and attention to detail provide Grace and Artemis’s individual stories authenticity. Mason elegantly weaves together the LGBTQ issues, adolescent and young adult angst, and romance threads, and an intriguing cast—including the fierce Artemis, the sensitive Grace, the vulnerable Linda—will keep readers invested in the story. The story is as much the history of the nation as it’s a tale of love, perseverance, and self-discovery. Wholesome, authentic, and beautiful, this page-turning LGBTQ romance satisfies.
