Description

From the author of Blue Is the Warmest Colour, a beautiful, bittersweet graphic novel on the complexities of love. Set in the languid, European-like neighbourhoods of Montreal, Body Music is a beautiful and moving meditation on love and desire as expressed in many different forms—between women, between men, between women and men, and gender non-conformists alike, all varying in age and race.

In twenty separate vignettes, Maroh explores the drama inherent in relationships at different stages: the electricity of initial attraction, the elation of falling in love, the trauma of breaking up, and the sweet comfort of a long-standing romance.
