I loved this. If you want a story of a trans woman in the 20 then this is it! Some parts dragged but other than that I loved it. Can’t wait to see the film

This breath-taking novel may be a fictionalized account of the life of one of the first gender reassignment patients in history, but it is really about strength of character, being true to oneself and ultimately the love that binds friends and family. Taking place in Copenhagen in the late 1920's, it interweaves art, marriage and family history into the story.

Good character development. A little slow but that many have had to do with me doing the audio book.
