The Danish Girl Chapter 23 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Lili wakes up screaming, so the nurse has to sedate her with ether.
  • Aside from the extreme pain, though, the procedure went well and Lili is recovering nicely.
  • Greta visits every afternoon, and they talk about the future.
  • The two women want to move back into their old apartment in Copenhagen.
  • First, however, there's still another procedure to do: Einar's penis must be removed—Lili wants that thing gone as soon as possible.
