Passing Strange by Ellen Klages. I enjoy the writing style of Ellen Klages (she has written some wonderful SF short stories), so picked up this novella. The first part got me very intrigued, and then it steps back to a romance in 1940 San Francisco and I was wishing the author would make up her mind what it was about. But by the end it all wraps up very neatly into a lesbian romance with a touch of magic and some well researched historical perspective. 4/5.
Perhaps the title indicates that this is a reaction to Passing by Nella Larsen, which was a recent book club selection?
