Set in 1900 England,\u00a0Goodbye, My Rose Garden<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of the young noblewoman Alice and her maid Hanako as the two connect over their shared passion for fiction and eventually fall in love. Steeped in references to the history and literature of the Victorian era, the series draws on turn-of-the-century reality and fantasy alike to highlight the intersectional struggles of queer women of the period.<\/p>\n

Utilizing the narrative devices of\u00a0<\/em>early feminist and women-loving-women (wlw) literature,\u00a0Rose Garden<\/em>\u00a0encourages its audience to expect a melancholy love story. However, it swerves in its finale to offer an unambiguously romantic, happy ending, arguing against \u201cinevitable\u201d heteronormativity and providing a shining example of how to write nuanced, happy historical queer fiction for a modern audience.<\/p>\n
