Grigorios Ksenopoulos thought very highly of her writing, as becomes clear from his comments to her and the correspondence published in the journal Diaplasis ton Paidon.
Hence, the author, alone or with her girlfriend, and under the weight of significant social pressure, opprobrium and shame, gathered existing copies from bookstores and destroyed many of them.
The book disappeared and was nowhere to be found for decades, until the philologist, academic and researcher Christina Dounia rediscovered it in two private libraries (first, in the Eleutheriadis residence in Petra, Lesvos, and later on in the Kavafy archive, where there is a copy inscribed by the author to the Alexandrian poet).
[4] The real identity of Rosetti when her book was republished was still unknown, and became a matter of feverish speculation among journalists, literary critics, authors and the book-reading public of Greece.
[5] Soon after the publication of the novel, Eleni Bakopoulou, an intellectual and activist for the rights of women, lesbians and gay men since the 1980s, brought to light and published documents on Rosetti that she had meticulously kept in her drawers for many years.
Later on, in 2012, these texts were published as a book titled My Friend Mrs Dora Rosetti, by Odos Panos Publications.
Outside her profession, she enjoyed mountaineering, cave exploration (together with Anna Petroheilou, a well-known cave-explorer), played tennis and was a classical music lover.
The book was translated and published in English, French and Italian in 2017 (titles "The Two Lovers", Les Deux Amantes, Le due Amanti).
