Now an Academy Award-winning major motion picture, starring Academy Award-winners Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander and directed by Academy Award-winner Tom Hooper National Bestseller * A New York Times Notable Book * Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction * Winner of the Rosenthal Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters * Finalist for the New York Public Library Young Lions Award * Finalist for the American Library Association Stonewall Book Award Loosely inspired by a true story, this tender portrait of marriage asks: What do you do when the person you love has to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked by a wife of her husband while both are painting in their studio, setting off a transformation neither can anticipate. Uniting fact and fiction into an original romantic vision, The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the unique intimacy that defines every marriage and the remarkable story of Lili Elbe, a pioneer in transgender history, and the woman torn between loyalty to her marriage and her own ambitions and desires. The Danish Girl 's lush prose and generous emotional insight make it, after the last page is turned, a deeply moving first novel about one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the 20th century.

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.
