Kolua is a middle-aged wife and mother who falls in love with a young man she meets on her nightly subway ride home from work - and this book is the story of their improbably affair. Attracted to older women (in fact, he occasionally accepts money to sleep with them), the young man introduces Koula to a dangerous new life, filled with deception, seedy bars, and illicit meetings in a rundown apartment. Filmed for Greek television, Koula is a bold and melancholy novel that charts the interior lives of these two characters, fully capturing the range of their emotions, from the anticipation surrounding their first night together, to the grief they feel at the dissolution of their affair.
