A contemporary re-imagining of Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, Ginger Lazarus' Burning follows lesbian ex-Army sergeant Cy, who agrees to help a young soldier court the woman they both love. Fresh from the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military, Cy builds a world of secrets and lies even as she battles a former adversary with far-ranging and tragic results. This witty, word-wise romance is also deeply passionate and hard-hitting, and will make you think twice the next time you're tempted to keep quiet about injustice -- or hesitate to profess your love for someone.
