Summary
1950's historical multi-chapter lesbian fanfiction wherein topics like love between women, a revolutionary spirit, relationships, society, family, and different forms of domestic abuse are discussed with a careful hand.
Follow as Caitlyn meets her new neighbors, Mr. Tom Jessop, and his wife, Violet Jessop. Caitlyn's husband George takes a liking to them, and the couples eventually become friends. Violet has an air about her that screams in the silence, but while the men are away, she lets the silence run away with her stubborn and revolutionary spirit. They teach each other new things: how to cook, how to wear trousers, how to garden, what love is really supposed to feel like, and the consequences it comes with.
.
"...Caitlyn happened to see Violet sending her own husband off to whatever his job was. She followed him out to his truck, let him bend down to kiss her instead of getting up on her toes like any other eager wife would, and spared him one single wave.
Caitlyn felt a pang of kinship in that. Relatability. Violet had the same sense of eagerness to get the moment over with that Caitlyn recognized in herself each and every day."
