La Ruina

Charlotte and Francesca were best friends in college, but beneath their natural affection lay tensions that worsened when Fran started dating Adrian, and the two women drifted apart. Years later, when Fran contacts Charlotte with an unusual proposal —to live with her and Adrian in the house they've bought in the country— Charlotte convinces her partner, Bill, to accept this tantalizing promise of a new kind of community. At first, their new life seems utopian, but old tensions soon resurface, revealing each of them in a new light. A dazzling graphic novel that defies genres and intelligently explores the tangle of love, envy, and desire that underpins our most cherished relationships.
