Review this book!
The story of Felice, a young Jewish lesbian, and Elizabeth, a Gentile wife and mother, during the Holocaust. Elizabeth eventually divorced her husband, moved in with Felice, and the two of them attempted to establish a haven from the madness that surrounded them. But then Felice was deported--first to Czechoslovakia, then to a concentration camp. At the age of 80, Elizabeth finally tells her story to journalist Erica Fischer, who complements the saga with historical background, interviews with Elizabeth's and Felice's friends, and letters, diaries, and photos.

Publisher Notes
This unique, ultimately tragic true love story is set against the unforgiving backdrop of World War II Germany and the Nazi persecution of lesbians and gays. The horrors and joys experienced by Felice Schragenheim, who did not survive the war, and Elisabeth "Lily" Wust, who lived to finally tell their story after more than 50 years of silence, were inextricably intertwined with living in a wartime country in a world gone mad.
Media Reviews
"'Aimee and Jaguar' conveys the sense of a daily life in which triviality and frivolity become tragic and heroic, and the letters of both lovers...are full of passion expressed with amazing skill."
