The tree and the vine  Cover Image Book Book

The tree and the vine / Dola de Jong; translated from the Dutch by Kristen Gehrman.

De Jong, Dola, 1911-2003 (author.). Gehrman, Kristen, (translator.).

Summary:

When Bea meets Erica at the home of a mutual friend, this chance encounter sets the stage for the story of two women torn between desire and taboo in the years leading up to the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. Erica, a reckless young journalist, pursues passionate but abusive affairs with different women. Bea, a reserved secretary, grows increasingly obsessed with Erica, yet denial and shame keep her from recognizing her attraction. Only Bea's discovery that Erica is half-Jewish and a member of the Dutch resistance--and thus in danger--brings her closer to accepting her own feelings.
