ably this attempt at making the reader speculate which leads the author into portraying the girls in such a manner that they never become life-like.
This nebulousness does not prevent the book from being interesting and in places fascinating. The conflicting testimonies of the psychiatrists are most interesting, particularly the viewpoint. of the defense psychiatrist who had
seen one of the girls some time before the crime. Although this novel does not deal with an adult lesbian situation, the homosexual problem is foremost in the book. For this reason and the fact that it is interestingly written, with some food for thought on the problem in the younger group, The Evil Friendship is to be recommended. A. H.
