    Two books from Marguerite Yourcenar:

    • The Abyss (L’œuvre au noir): fascinating fiction about a wandering alchemist during the Renaissance. Main character is bisexual.
    • Memoirs of Hadrian: Historical novel about a Roman emperor. Main character is deeply in love with another man.

    Both may not be about LGBTQ issues, but their main protagonist are nonetheless fantastic examples of mesmerizing LGBTQ characters.
