Considering Venus asks, "What happens when girlfriends becomes more than friends?" Two forty-something women meet again 25 years after high school: Lesley, an African-American, is straight, recently widowed with three children, and looking for a friend, while Cass is Antiguan, gay and looking for love.. This book explores the almost-unacknowledged issue of lesbianism among Caribbean women and adds to it the complication of a heterosexual perspective
