Publisher's Synopsis
This is an extraordinarily vivid true account of passionate devotion between two women in wartime. A unique and ultimately tragic love story, it is set against the unforgiving backdrop of World War II Germany and the Nazi persecution of lesbians and gays. The horrors and joys experienced by Felice Schragenheim, who did not survive the war, and Elisabeth Lily' Wust, who lived to tell their story after more than 50 years of silence, jump off the page in this compelling narrative of living in a wartime country in a world gone mad.'
