In this case we are discussing women's fiction books, of which lesbian books and lesbian fiction in particular are subcategories. Interestingly, it has been found that a great many heterosexual women, married, as well as single, read so-called lesbian books.
A recent novel in the lesbian books category is Seeking Sara Summers. Author Susan Gabriel did not write this book specifically as a work of lesbian fiction, although there is lesbian theme. Indeed, as the story opens, the main characters have been heterosexual their whole lives. The focus of the novel is on the changes that happen to Sara Summers, the main character, as she awakens to the truth about the state of her marriage and then explores what to do about it. This exploration takes her in directions she never would have guessed.
For those seeking lesbian fiction with frequent and explicit sex scenes, this book will disappoint. There are some steamy scenes, but the author lets your imagination fill in a lot of the blanks.
