If this is the kind of writing we can always expect from Ms. Palmer then sign me up for more!  She very cleverly runs the theme of Prohibition parallel to Ruth's attraction for another woman.  Both themes deal with what isn't "accepted" at the time and Ms. Palmer uses that parallel brilliantly.  I felt Ruth's conflict, how she wasn't comfortable in her own skin until she met CeeCee.  I could so clearly see the Speak Easy that was hidden away in a warehouse, away from prying eyes.  It's not an era I read about often, but after reading Prohibited Passion, I can't wait to delve more into Prohibition stories.
