Named Einar Wegener at birth, Elbe was a prominent Danish landscape painter in the s. Her journey from male to female was kickstarted partly by accident, when her wife, Gerda Wegener, a painter and magazine illustrator played by Alicia Vikander in the film, asked Elbe to sit in for a female model who failed to turn up for a sitting.

The experience awakened something buried inside her, and Elbe decided to continue modeling for her wife using the name Lili. Despite the unconventional marriage, Gerda remained supportive of her husband for the next 15 years.

London Evening Standard. Tom Hooper". It's actually quite faithful to the book but so much better! Just one of those rare occasions where the movie is superior to the book.

My advice is to see the Oscar nominated film and don't bother reading the book. I may never say something like that again!

The story is an intertwining of two lives, the man who undergoes the sex change and his wife. The wife is a strong-willed Californian, who comes from a very wealthy family that wants her to accept her socialite life, which she defies by moving to Europe.

She dreams of becoming a painter, but is uncertain of her talent and her focus. Sh This historical novel, by David Ebershoff, is about the first transexual to undergo a sex change in this case, a man who becomes a woman set in the early s.

She ends up marrying her art professor, who, the reader learns, has struggled his entire life with feeling as though he was born into the wrong body.

As the man struggles with accepting who he is beginning with small steps of dressing in women's clothing to pose privately for his wife's paintings and taking on larger and more risky steps , his art career diminishes just as his wife's takes off.

Their careers and relationship becomes entwined and increasingly strained and complicated. This is a beautiful story about the meaning of love and the consequences of self-acceptance.

In this book we witness the gradual transformation of Einar Wegener in Lily Elbe, both physically and psychologically, which is what I enjoyed very much about the novel.

The author states in his prologue that it is not intended to be an accurate biography, but a novel, and it is noticeable if we take into consideration that apparently, one of the reasons for the couple Einar-Gerda to move to Paris was that Gerda would be free to live there as an active lesbian; in the book by Ebershoff, she seem In this book we witness the gradual transformation of Einar Wegener in Lily Elbe, both physically and psychologically, which is what I enjoyed very much about the novel.

The author states in his prologue that it is not intended to be an accurate biography, but a novel, and it is noticeable if we take into consideration that apparently, one of the reasons for the couple Einar-Gerda to move to Paris was that Gerda would be free to live there as an active lesbian; in the book by Ebershoff, she seems to be rather passionate about men and she was very much in love with all the three men in her life.

She starts to feel that it is "wrong" to be with Lily as she was with Einar; which is a trifle surprising, being Gerda a lesbian. On the other hand, Einar assumes all the traditional roles assigned to woman, even though they were by any means traditional either as individuals or as a couple.

As Lily she stops painting and besides her addiction to pain-killers, all she seem to value is buying clothes and marrying and becoming a mother.

She becomes shallow and conventional. Aug 25, Hannah rated it really liked it Shelves: around-the-world , reading-challenge. A novel about a historic trans person that feels dated and stilted to me, even though it was published in In a way I appreciate this novel for showing me how far and how fast we've come.

I don't blame the author--he did his best for 15 years ago, I'm sure--but a lot of this just feels clunky and voyeuristic to me now.

Jul 30, Kathrin rated it really liked it Shelves: historical-fiction , library. I haven't watched the movie prior to reading the book but I was familiar with its topic although I didn't know that it was based on real events.

It still remains a fictional story which was also stated in the afterword. A couple of changes have been made - I read more about Einar Wegener online after finishing the book.

I can't say that I understand everything that was changed but it certainly didn't stop me from enjoying the book. The book follows their lives and offers insights displayed in backslashes.

Everything is coming together at a point where Einar turns into Lily and Lily becomes the muse to Greta. Over time, Einar has to decide who he wants to be and has to deal with the consequences of this choice for him and the people around him.

Ebershoff has a great way of writing about the sensitive topic of their marriage and the role Lily plays. On the one hand, she is the one kickstarting Greta's career as a painter.

Greta needs her and looks forward to having her around. And then there is Einar who also needs Lily to 'visit' and slowly, Lily becomes increasingly present in their lives.

On the other hand, both of them have to come up with a plan on how to incorporate her into their lives. I also loved reading about Greta's career as a painter and how she made herself known in a world which didn't welcome her with open arms.

The pacing of the story was great - especially in the first half of the book - and the characterization.

I was drawn into the story immediately and it was easy to root for all of them. Unfortunately, the book seemed to fall a little apart in the last few pages.

I was missing it's artistic vibe and maybe melancholia when we followed Lily to Dresden. Up until then I had enjoyed the read immensely - also attributed to the fact that it presented a topic I didn't encounter much in the past.

The fact that I read more about the real-life story after finishing the book shows me how much it impressed me. It will stay with me for a while and I look forward to watching the movie as it seemed to stay rather close to those parts of the book I deeply enjoyed.

All in all, a great book. I am glad that I finally came around to reading it. Jan 11, Annie rated it it was ok. So I was a little disappointed in this book, I have to say.

Must have read it 10 times. Thought it was so well done. I had a hard time getting into this one, and staying into it. Also, I worry that too many people are going to think that th So I was a little disappointed in this book, I have to say.

It dragged, it slogged, it plodded. It was a boring book, and it could have been so much more.

After seeing the film, almost a year ago, I can tell that Mr. Tom Hooper, the director, has done a very good job. His idea to hire Eddie Redmayne was the marvelous thing ever.

I've had no problem reading the book after the film, because they are completely different things and both of them were great.
