"某個寒冷的午後,畫室裡的妻子葛蕾塔要求丈夫埃恩納幫忙一件事。來自美國的葛蕾塔為了自由,放棄加州的豪門生活,在丹麥展開藝術家生涯。她擅長人物畫,同為畫家的丈夫則以丹麥北方老家的主題而聞名。有天,一名歌劇女伶臨時無法前來讓葛蕾塔作畫,她只得央求埃恩納當模特兒,他說:「沒問題,做什麼都行。」穿上女伶的芥茉黃淑女鞋、繫上吊帶襪、套上白色洋裝,好讓妻子完成最後的工作。望著自己柔滑如絲緞的小腿,頭一次當模特兒的埃恩納不禁頭暈發熱...從此,兩人之間出現了第三者「莉莉」,她總是趁埃恩納不在的時候出現。有時葛蕾塔出門,回來時只見莉莉坐在埃恩納的位置低頭看書;如果莉莉不在,空氣中則瀰漫著她的味道。莉莉出現的頻率愈來愈高,葛蕾塔不得不思索,丈夫的身體裡面是否真的住了一個女孩?她該怎麼辦?葛蕾塔沒有想到,只是臨時起意求助於丈夫,竟為往後的人生投下一顆震撼彈,她該如何繼續愛她的伴侶?她曾以為絶不接受命運的安排,但如今她能承受自己安排的一切嗎?橫越美國、北歐與德國的追尋自我之旅,即將開展一樁最熾烈、最不尋常的愛情故事..."--Back cover.

Work Description
A stunning first novel that probes the mysteries of sex, gender, and love with insight and subtletyInspired by the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his California-born wife, this tender portrait of a marriage asks: What do you do when someone you love wants to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked of a husband by his wife on an afternoon chilled by the Baltic wind while both are painting in their studio. 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.
