As this unusual love story unfolded I was drawn to the character development of both Greta an Einar, and especially Greta's emotional strength versus Einar's frailty. She deeply loved her husband Einar, and as difficult as it was to lose her partner in marriage, she understood and helped support his need to transition to Lili. Both Greta and Einar made life altering decisions and sacrifices that impacted their partner. Although I was hoping for a "happily ever after" ending, it was left up to the reader's imagination on how the story actually concluded, because it wasn't spelled out. In my opinion it is more of a "chick book" and could make for an interesting book club discussion about the sanctity of marriage and also the public controversy regarding these operations in our current time.
