Room for Love
By ILYA
Hardback, 128 pp, $22.95
"Romance is dead." So says Pamela Green, middle-class and middle-aged – a romance novelist suffering from writer's block. Then, on a bridge crossing over the river, her unsettled life collides with that of a ragged young man. He's survived for months on London's streets by his wits… and his looks. Under extraordinary circumstances, Pamela invites him into her comfortable suburban home. There, in spite of obvious differences, they soon come to form an unlikely partnership, their once separate lives revived in stark new directions...
An intense hothouse drama, fierce, true to life, Room for Love is an original graphic novel unafraid to play with fire.
