The Well of Loneliness lesbian novel by British author Radclyffe Hall that was first published in 1928 by Jonathan Cape . It follows the life of Stephen Gordon, an Englishwoman from an upper-class family whose "sexual inversion " (homosexuality ) is apparent from an early age. She finds love with Mary Llewellyn, whom she meets while serving as an ambulance driver during the First World War , but their happiness together is marred by social isolation and rejection, which Hall depicts as the typical sufferings of "inverts", with predictably debilitating effects.
