The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff

4.0

This was a book discussion group selection. I was glad they picked it because when I saw the movie it didn't occur to me to look for a book. the book gets more into the character's inner thoughts, and into the backstory of the wife, who here is a rich American girl from historical Pasadena. More in the book about the process of making art than there is in the movie, which I also liked. The story is supposed to be about real people, but it is such an imaginative work that it's hard to imagine what parts were "real." That may sound strange, but it's a compliment to the writing.
