I'm trying to express as exactly, as minutely as possible the sensations of physical love. There's something here that a woman can understand. I hope this won't appear more scandalous than the thoughts of Molly Bloom at the end of Joyce's Ulysses. Every sincere psychological analysis deserves to be heard, I think. Violette Leduc Charged with metaphors, alternating with precise descriptions of sensations and human relationships, 'Therese and Isabelle' was censored by its publisher in France in 1954, first published in a truncated version in 1966 and not until 2000 in its uncensored edition, as Violette Leduc intended. For the first time in a new English translation, here is the unabridged text of 'Therese and Isabelle'.

This tale of love between two school girls is pure poetry. For example, "We listened to the rippling of our hearts in the dust. Tiny white horses rode in our breasts" (47). "Seasons, give us your rags. Let us be wanderers with our hair slicked down by rain" (76). I found myself underlining passages on every page. Wild, passionate, adolescent love is described with such delicacy that it will waken memories in all who have ever experienced the shipwreck (her term) of passionate attraction.
