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. \nFirst published in 1954 in the Netherlands\, Dola de Jong’s 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. \n———– \n(Click Here) to make reservations \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n———– \nDola de Jong (1911–2003) was born Dorothea Rosalie de Jong in Arnhem\, The Netherlands.
