The Latecomer is sapphic literary royalty and has been put back in print on the 50th Anniversary of its original publication.
- PUBLISHING PIONEER: Sarah Aldridge is the nom de plume of Anyda Marchant, who with her partner and two other women launched the legendary Naiad Press in 1974. The Latecomer is the very first book ever published by Naiad Press.
- TRAILBLAZING LESBIAN AUTHOR: In 1974, Sarah Aldridge crushed the heteronormative edict of death and despair for lesbian literary characters. The Latecomer is a seminal work of feminist literature and the first known instance of lesbian literary characters achieving a happy and healthy outcome.
- A CORNUCOPIA OF SAPPHIC THROPES: Sapphic and lesbian romance readers love their tropes and The Latecomer is replete with them. Forced Proximity, Toaster Oven, and Reunion are all found within the pages of this novel.
The Latecomer by Sarah Aldridge was the first book published by the legendary Naiad Press and one of the first known novels to grant a happy ending to its lesbian main characters.
Coming home from a summer spent in research in Europe, Philippa unexpectedly shares her stateroom with Kay, a stranger. Philippa, nearing forty, reserved, inexperienced in close human relationships, and Kay, eight years younger, lively, gregarious, agonizing over a frustrated love affair, spend five days during their stormy Atlantic crossing learning the key to each other’s natures.
Philippa and Kay believe their arrival in New York harbor will end their brief friendship, but circumstance intervenes. They meet again in Washington, D.C., where Kay's lover's career has led to possible catastrophe for all involved. It is Philippa who must act as a mediator for Kay—hiding her growing feelings to protect Kay's best interests.
The Latecomer invites you into the world of Philippa and Kay, strangers who meet aboard a cruise ship and, despite very different lives and aspirations, find a surprising bond. Through political and romantic intrigue, they uncover the truth about themselves.
