A Stone in Her Shoe

Summary

Corinna had always known that she was a boy, but that it was a difficult proposition to wear in the England of the 1930s. Despite her strength and resilience of character, even she falls in line with social expectations and marries a young airman as the Second World War begins. She joins up, and the process of her liberation from conventional morality, so slow in development, begins to gather momentum. She meets and falls in love with the erudite and witty Stevie and her life seems to be complete. However, Corinna had not taken into account the beautiful and tempestuous Lisa, who attracts her like a moth to a flame and opens up new horizons which enable Corinna to fulfill her true nature to a depth she had not thought possible, forcing her to a decision she had never contemplated.
