This book is based on the true story of two young women, Suzanne Malherbe and Lucie Schwob (sometimes known as Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun), lovers and eventually stepsisters, which provides them a sort of cover. They socialize with people like Hemingway and Dali, take avant-garde photographs, and eventually run an independent propoganda campaign against the Nazis in Jersey.
While these two women clearly led extraordinary lives, this book is considerably less than extraordinary. Part of it may be the amount of time that it attempts to cover in a relatively brief 360-some pages. I never came to feel like I knew the characters beyond a surface level. It conveys the story of their lives, but doesn't do that something extra to make it more compelling as fiction than it would have been as a nonfiction article about their remarkable achievements.
