Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Inspired by the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his California-born wife, this portrait of a marriage begins with a favor asked of a husband by his wife. Her portrait model cancels, and she asks if he would slip into a pair of women's shoes and stockings so she can finish the painting on time. With that, a most passionate and unusual love story begins.

Review:

...Fascinating and humane... (The New York Times)

Review:

A first novel of startling refinement and beauty. (The Chicago Tribune)

Review:

Heartbreaking and unforgettable, it is a complete triumph. (The Boston Globe
