Abstract
Recommends Smith's novel, which rewrites classical myth through the love story of a modern-day lesbian couple, as challenging "conventional notions of identity on multiple levels," pointing to "the transformative potential of queer identity to embrace a clever reconciliation of local community and cosmopolitan mindset," and offering "a reading of Scottish identity that is culturally progressive and politically sound."
