A visually stunning and beautifully written debut graphic novel of love, life and art.

'Subtle and deliciously complicated' - Tessa Hadley

Alison is newly married, barely twenty and struggling to find her place in the world.

A chance encounter with an older artist upturns her life and she forsakes convention and her working-class Dorset roots for the thrumming art scene of London in the late seventies. As the thrill of bohemian romance leads inevitably to disappointment, Alison begins to find her own path - through art, friendship and love.

'This book is a testament to the right to choose your own life' - Jessica Andrews
