_To Love and be Wise._ Macmillan 1951. Another well done mystery, with a variant attachment also providing motive and solution and a high level of suspense and surprise.
TESCH, GERALD. _Never The Same Again._ G P Putnam’s Sons 1956, pbr Pyramid 1958, (m). Not for the squeamish, but a well-done novel of an affair between a teen age boy and an older man.
+ TIMPERLEY, ROSEMARY. _Child in the Dark._ Crowell 1956. Two of the three stories in this book involve intense attachments, variant but not explicitly lesbian, between an English schoolmistress and a young girl.
THAYER, TIFFANY. _Thirteen Women._ Claude Kendall, 1932. Mildly nasty shock-story of a murder, involving thirteen women, one mixed up with a lesbian; she eventually commits suicide.
_Thirteen Men._ Claude Kendall 1930, (m). Much the same stuff as above only masculine in emphasis. Thayer is a good writer, but not everyone’s choice.
THOMPSON, JOHN B. _Girls of the French Quarter._ Beacon pbo 1954.
_Frenzy of Desire._ Encore Press 1957. Evening wasters.
THOMPSON, MORTON. _Not as a Stranger._ Chas. Scribner’s Sons, 1954 pbr Pocket Books 1955. fco, very minor episodes.
+ THORNE, ANTHONY. _Delay in the Sun._ Literary Guild, 1934. A “heartening idyll” of two friends who, during a long stopover in Spain, resolve their relationship.
+ TORRES, TERESKA. _Woman’s Barracks._ Gold Medal pbo 1950, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 and probably every year from now on, for a while anyhow. Gold Medal’s most popular title so far is the story of a group of women with the Free French women’s army, at loose ends and disassociated from family, friends and personal attachments. Among the many threads of the plot is the story of naive young Ursula, who, through her relationship with warm, tough, friendly Claude is helped to maturity and eventually to readjustment to normal life.
_Dangerous Games._ Dial 1957, pbr Crest 1958. A married woman, discovering her husband is having an affair with her closest friend, briefly becomes infatuated with her too.
_Not Yet._ Crown 1957, pbr Crest 1958. The story of four young girls in a French school; not children but “not yet” women, and their adjustment to life and love. The narrator, the least mature, is as yet infatuated only with Mother Nathalie, her teacher; no overt behavior is implied except kisses, but the nun’s reaction when the heroine begins to be interested in boys brings this under the scope of the study.
