Why it's in the Cabin
Yourcenar's first novel, met with huge acclaim at the time of its publication in French in 1929, and only published in English more than 50 years later in this edition. A classic of queer literature, she writes with profound empathy from the perspective of a gay man married to a woman.

Marguerite Yourcenar
An absolute favourite of ours. Yourcenar's take on the historical novel was deeply original; less about the events and the accuracy, and more about delving into the spirit of a time, and the forces at play in times of change and upheaval.
