Summary Set against the glitz and decadence of 1920s Copenhagen, Paris and Dresden, and inspired by a true story, The Danish Girl is about one of the most passionate and unusual marriages of the twentieth century...Einar Wegener and his American wife Greta Waud have been married for six years, but are yet to have a child. Both painters, they live a life of bohemian languor in Copenhagen until one day their lives are irreversibly altered. The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the intimacy that defines a marriage and the nearly forgotten story of the love between a man who discovers that he is, in fact, a woman, and his wife who would sacrifice anything for him...This elegantly written, sensual and engrossing novel is a wonderful celebration of love. With great sensitivity and intelligence, David Ebershoff tells the story of this extraordinary marriage, which survives the hardest test any couple could face...Praise for The Danish Girl..'an engrossing story of true love, suffering and sacrifice' - Sunday Telegraph..'a quality of extraordinariness. . . an astonishing idea, rendered arrestingly: a hypnotising uniqueness' - Courier-Mail..'an enthralling read' - The Times..'an unusual and affecting love story' - New York Times.
