Elio and Oliver’s celebrated summer romance on the Italian Riviera comes to life in this lush graphic novel adaptation. A friendship that begins with rivalry slowly deepens into an unforgettable first love.
Description
On the sun-drenched Italian Riviera, Elio welcomes Oliver, his father’s American house guest, for a summer that will change both of their lives.
At first, Elio isn’t impressed. Oliver seems arrogant and self-assured, all billowing shirts, casual remarks, and maddening confidence. But as the summer unfolds, the two young men are drawn together through long walks, lazy lunches, tennis matches, and countless hours spent in each other’s company.
Friendship gradually gives way to something more complicated. Elio finds himself increasingly captivated by Oliver, from his teasing smile to quiet moments by the pool, while Oliver becomes an increasingly powerful presence in Elio’s thoughts.
As the weeks pass, attraction turns into intimacy, and both young men confront the exhilarating possibility of finding a connection unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Their summer becomes a story of desire, vulnerability, discovery, and the intensity of a first great love.
André Aciman’s internationally acclaimed novel is reimagined here as a graphic novel by artist Sarah Maxwell-McNicol, bringing the romance, beauty, and atmosphere of the Italian summer to the page in an entirely new form.
