In het first year at university Mallory meets the woman, a professor. They get into a secret relationship, marked by inequality: Mallory‘s self esteem is quite dependent on the elder woman‘s views, feelings and opinions. She admires the woman more than she loves her and takes all she experienced during their time together with her in further years.
A wonderful debut.

A really fascinating true story of two women, one Jewish the other not, who quietly but passionately defied the Nazi‘s by both creating & distributing anti-Nazi leaflets and by living their lives as step-sisters but in truth were lovers. I found the writing a little dry, but Suzanne Malherbe & Lucy Schwab were completely compelling. Moving from Paris to Jersey hoping to avoid the German occupation, Suzanne & Lucy soon find the Germans 👇🏼

Cinfhen arriving in Jersey. The book contains dozens of photos of both the women & their avant-garde works, which I really enjoyed. Thanks for gifting @trishb 2y
Megabooks Sounds really interesting! 2y
Cinfhen @TrishB also sent me the fictionalized version of Suzanne & Lucy @Megabooks which Trish said is even better 2y

Super fascinating true story of two spirited rebels who defied the Nazi‘s with their quiet resistance. Thanks for sharing @TrishB #Pop22 #SapphicBook #NF22 #ImARuleBreaker Halfway point. Writing is a little dry but the story is too interesting to be boring.

TrishB This one can be quite dry. The fiction one puts the emotion into the story ❤️ 2y
