| Summary |
"In the years preceding the First World War, two young French women meet by chance. Suzanne, a shy 17-year-old with a talent for drawing, is entranced by the brilliant but troubled Lucie. They embark on a clandestine love affair, terrified they will be discovered.They move to a Paris where art, literature and politics are coming together in an explosive cocktail that will utterly transform society. Recreating themselves as 'Marcel Moore' and 'Claude Cahun', they are soon moving in the most glamorous social circles, meeting everyone from Hemingway and Dali to Andre Breton, and producing groundbreaking photographs. In the 1930s, however, with the rise of fascist ideology, they leave Paris for Jersey, and it is on this idyllic island that they confront their destiny, dreaming up a campaign of propaganda against Hitler's occupying forces that will put their very existence in jeopardy."--Publisher's description |
