Mirror Geography

In The PowerBook, Jeanette Winterson writes:

Sex between women is mirror geography. The subtlety of its secret--utterly the same, utterly different. You are a looking-glass world. You are the hidden place that opens to me on the other side of the glass. I touch your smooth surface and then my fingers sink through to the other side. You are what the mirror reflects and invents. I see myself, I see you, two, one, none. I don't know. Maybe I don't need to know.

Mirror Geography is a collection of lesbian erotic fiction by Alessia Brio containing the following short stories and novellas:

• BOILING POINT
  
• SAY IT WITH A STRAP-ON
• DOUBLE DECKER
• PAST PERFECT
• HALLOWING EVE
• ALLURE
• 30 SECONDS
• LISTEN TO ME
• UNTIL NEXT TIME
• And an excerpt from the upcoming BEACH MAGIC

Each story has been previously published somewhere/somewhen. Most are also available as individual ebooks.
