The Love That Dares: Letters of LGBTQ + Love & Friendship Through History

The Love That Dares: Letters of LGBTQ + Love & Friendship Through History

4 hours, 20 minutes

An intimate and inspiring collection of letters revealing some of the greatest queer love stories in history.

A good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel today have been shared by lovers long gone. In
'THE LOVE THAT DARES',
queer love speaks through a wonderful selection of surviving letters between lovers and friends, confidants and companions.

Alongside the more famous names, the Woolfs and the Wildes, coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers, giving us an insight into queer love outside of the spotlight of fame or fortune. These letters give us a glimpse into the passion and courage it took to continue a gay relationship in times when it was at best improper, and at worst illegal.

This audiobook is read for you by a cast of 16 narrators, including members of the Hachette Pride Network.

Includes letters written by:

Oscar Wilde & Sir Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas
Eleanor Roosevelt & Lorena Hickok
Virginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-West
Emily Dickinson & Susan Gilbert
Herman Melville & Nathaniel Hawthorne
Allen Ginsberg & Peter Orlovsky
Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas
Angelina Weld Grimké & Mamie Burrell
John Cage & Merce Cunningham
Margaret Mead & Ruth Benedict
Audre Lorde & Pat Parker
Harvey Milk & Joe Campbell
