    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    'Vivid and compelling...As moving and inspiring as it is tragic.'
    Lillian Faderman, author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers
    _________________________________________


    Berlin 1942.
    Lilly Wust, twenty-nine, married, four children, led a life as did millions of German women. But then she met the twenty-one-year-old Felice Schragenheim.

    It was love almost at first sight. Aimée (Lilly) and Jaguar (Felice) started forging plans for the future. They composed poems and love letters to each other, and wrote their own marriage contract. When Jaguar admitted to her lover that she was Jewish, this dangerous secret drew the two women even closer to each other. But their luck didn't last. On August 21, 1944, Jaguar was arrested and deported.

    At the age of eighty, Lilly Wust told her story to Erica Fischer, who turned it into a poignant testimony. The book, translated into twenty languages, and the film based on it-directed by Max Färberböck, with Juliane Köhler and Maria Schrader in the leading roles-have made Aimée and Jaguar's story known around the world.
