Set in San Francisco in the 1970s, Winter's Edge is an acclaimed working-class feminist novel.
Friendship, politics and social consciousness are the issues raised in this story of two elderly women living in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. Chrissie MacInnes and Margaret Sawyer have been close friends for years. Chrissie is the more outspoken and aggressive of the pair, while Margaret takes a passive role in life. A hotly contested local election raises Chrissie's political awareness as she encourages Margaret to be more active in their community. Margaret continues to view the action from the sidelines until an act of violence leaves her no choice but to become directly involved. At the same time, she forms a romantic attachment to an eligible bachelor, placing a strain on her relationship with Chrissie. Depressing at times and certainly no lightweight, this book takes a thought-provoking look at human nature. November

Winter's Edge
This book had been lurking on my bookshelf unread for nearly 30 years but finally I picked it up, and I must say I did enjoy it. The two central characters Chrissie and Margaret are well developed and quite complex. The friendship between these two very different personalities is believable. the book is set in the resident community of the Tenderloin district of San Francisco in the early 1980's against the backdrop of a looming local election in which a pro-development candidate is playing dirty, threatening the community in which these women have lived for so many years.
Thsi would be the time of Harvey Milk, and two of the minor characters are gay, but it's not a gay novel as such.
I would like to read some more books by Valerie Miner now.
