Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
Inspired by the real-life story of Danish painter Einar Dresden, this is a strange and eerily haunting novel about a very unusual love affair between a man who realizes he is really a woman and his remarkable wife. Despite Einar's gradual evolution into Lili and despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the couple's marriage survives and in Ebershoff's sensual, elegantly written prose the unlikeliest of relationships proves an engrossing read.
