Was it you? Not sure -- this was about a month ago, and mentioned the book in comparison to Cold Comfort Farm.
Either way, the book is awesome. I'm glad you liked the movie (I did enjoy it really, just not as much).
I regret to say that I am lousy at spotting lesbian subtext. Even when it's practically text (see: Xena, Warrior Princess). But this review (http://www.villagevoice.com/film/0810,354607,354607,20.html) says "what makes her novel a delight is its guilelessly homoerotic subtext" and suggests that the movie actually plays this down, so I'd say you're in pretty good shape there. ;)
