Description

From one of Europe’s most celebrated young comics artists comes a deeply personal story that will resonate with all who have chosen to love in the face of great challenges. One summer night at a house party, Fred meets Cati. Though they barely speak, he vividly remembers her gracefulness and abandon. They meet again years later, and this time their connection is instantaneous. But when things become serious, a nervous Cati tells him that she and her three-year-old son are both HIV positive. With great beauty and economy, Peeters traces the development of their intimacy and their revelatory relationship with a doctor whose affection and frankness allow them to fully realize their passionate connection.
