Loosely inspired by a true story, this tender portrait of marriage asks: What do you do when the person you love has to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked by a wife of her husband while both are painting in their studio, setting off a transformation neither can anticipate. Uniting fact and fiction into an original romantic vision, The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the unique intimacy that defines every marriage and the remarkable story of Lili Elbe, a pioneer in transgender history, and the woman torn between loyalty to her marriage and her own ambitions and desires. The Danish Girl's lush prose and generous emotional insight make it, after the last page is turned, a deeply moving first novel about one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the 20th century.
The Danish Girl, David Ebershoff's debut novel, earned the Lambda Literary Prize for transgender literature in 2000 and was turned into a big film feature starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. His most recent work, The 19th Wife, was a #1 bestseller that was adapted into a television movie that broadcast throughout the world. He's also the author of Pasadena, a book, and The Rose City, a collection of short stories. His books have been translated into twenty languages and have received positive reviews. Out Magazine's annual Out100 list of important LGBT people has featured Ebershoff twice.
He is a professor at Columbia University's graduate writing department and has worked as an editor at Random House for many years.
