A Shore Thing

Painter Kit Griffith is building a new life in Cornwall, having left his past as a woman behind. When New York botanist Muriel Pendrake tries to hire him to help illustrate seaweeds for an upcoming lecture, Kit agrees under the condition that she help him win a wager and prove that women can ride bikes too. The two soon embark on a coastal bike trip. As they cycle, they grow closer together and help each other heal from past wounds. Lowell (Artfully Yours) offers a touching queer romance set in 18th-century England. Ros Watt narrates Kit and Muriel as they set out on the adventure of a lifetime, break down barriers, and bravely choose to love. Though occasionally steamy, this slow-burn romance brims with quiet tenderness and regard. Listeners will likely appreciate the author’s note, providing historical context into societal attitudes toward queerness and expressing her desire to see her own relationship reflected within the genre.
