The Danish Girl Chapter 8 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • For their annual August holiday, Greta and Einar travel to Menton, a French harbor town.
  • Greta thinks Lili should see it, so Einar changes into Lili.
  • The two women go for a walk, but Greta has a surprise: She has found Hans and they are meeting him for lunch.
  • Lili is scared that Hans will recognize her as Einar, but he doesn't appear to. Lunch goes well.
  • That night, as they are in bed together, Einar is still Lili, and Greta wonders what it would be like to kiss Lili as she might kiss her husband.
  • But they do not kiss.
