Two Women
In 1975 Harry Mulisch published a novel that stunned the critics with the simplicity of its storyline and the unexpected theme of lesbian love, which until then had been almost exclusively the domain of female writers. But 'Twee vrouwen' is above all a psychological novel.

A moving love story, but at the same time a literary page-turner – a term more commonly applied to thrillers. No reader will remain unmoved by the chilling conclusion.
