April's title is "The Woman Who Owned the Shadows" by Paula Gunn Allen. She is one of the first Aboriginal (American) authors to be published, let alone lesbian ones!
For those of you planning ahead, May's title is "This Wild Silence" by Lucy Jane Bledsoe, and June's title is "The Quilt and other stories" by Ismat Chugtai.

I haven't read the book yet, but I thought I could post some general questions to guide us in our reading of "The Woman Who Owned the Shadows"
1. What moral/ethical choices did the characters make? What did you think of those choices?
2. Why do you think the author wrote this? What is her most important message?
3. How did you feel about the characters? Who did you like or not like and why?
4. What did you think of the ending?
5. How does the setting figure as a character in the story?
