The Danish Girl

by David Ebershoff - Fiction

It starts with a question, a simple favor asked of a husband by his wife. Her portrait model has canceled, and would he mind slipping into a pair of women's shoes and stockings for a few moments so she can finish the painting on time. "Of course," he answers. "Anything at all." With that, one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the twentieth century begins.
