Elena Ferrante meets Patricia Highsmithโs The Price of Salt, in a new translation of the 1955 classic about repressed queer desire, set against the rising threat of WWII.
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 Beaโs discovery that Erica is half-Jewish and a member of the Dutch resistanceโand thus in dangerโbrings her closer to accepting her own feelings.
First published in 1955 in the Netherlands, Dola de Jongโs The Tree and the Vine was a groundbreaking work in its time for its frank and sensitive depiction of the love between two women, now available in a new translation.
