_Black Wine_ by Candas Jane Dorsey is a complex piece of what has been labeled "feminist fantasy" involving several generations of women in the same royal family. The stories of each are interwoven and vague enough throughout the book that you find yourself asking which woman is which at given points in the story, or whether or not all are simply the same woman in different stages of her life. The tone of the book is dreamlike, and like so much of current feminist literature, contains more than casual mention of lesbianism. I thought it was kind of neat because of the plot complexity and it's a pretty good read, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it too highly.
