It is the story of Koula, a middle-aged married woman who falls in love with a young man that she meets routinely on the subway ride home to her husband and kids. Attracted to older women (in fact, he occasionally accepts money to sleep with them), the young man in question introduces Koula to a different life than she's used to, a life filled with cigarettes, seedy bars, and illicit meetings in a rundown apartment.

Filmed for Greek television, Koula is a stylistically bold book that ranges in tone as it charts the emotional fluctuations of these two characters, fully capturing their interior lives, from the anticipation surrounding their meeting to the dissolution of their affair.

Industry Reviews

"Thousands of love stories are published every year, but Koula is much more than a simple love story. It's a book about remarkable characters written by an author who's absolutely sure of his abilities, his style. This novel is unforgettable, touching, and gripping as the melancholic end draws near." - Adonis Papadopoulos, author of Swimming Toward Atlantis "Even the most demanding reader of the book will find and enjoy therein the various and valuable threads that artfully, with remarkable economy, are woven around and within the brief encounter of the two ill-matched lovers." - Alexis Ziras, Journal ANTI"
