Walk Me to the Corner
Stability withers where passion blossoms in this cool-toned meditation on mid-life relationships.
A loving home and husband; two grown sons; a lakeside cabin with a picnic table where their initials are carved; and the chance encounter at a party that destabilizes it all. Elise is in her mid-fifties and is satisfied with life. But the moment she sees Dagmar, she's entranced. What begins as eye contact transitions to harmless texting, and quickly swells into the type of lust and yearning Elise did not know her life was lacking. Both are happily married and there's trepidation, but they can't resist. The two arrange to meet, changing the course of Elise's stable and consistent life forever.

"Anneli Furmark brilliantly captures the immutable--how passion and desire may come to you when you least expect it, and how the dormant heart once woken will not lie. This beautifully rendered story of desire and longing lit me up." --Hiromi Goto, Shadow Life
"Furmark gives us a very delicate book, mixing the sweetness of a new, beautiful, and important love with its pain, and the sour sadness of breaking something good. The story is masterfully told, and you read it like you watch a river flow, carried away by the calm but implacable waves. The grace and beauty of the artwork make it even more special. Walk Me To the Corner is a book you'll want to read when your heart aches a little, or when you're missing this particular aching." --Mirion Malle, This Is How I Disappear, The League of Super Feminists "The Swedish graphic novelist perfectly captures the rush, confusion and pain of a marriage exploded by unexpected attraction." --Rachel Cooke, The Guardian "Furmark (Red Winter) meditates on love, lust, and longing in midlife in this evocatively drawn and elegantly narrated outing." --Publishers Weekly "[Furmark's] candid reveal of an extramarital liaison unfolds in borderless panels--in shades of black and white, single-color washes or full-color vibrancy--as if to underscore the unpredictable clinging and cleaving of complicated alliances." --Shelf Awareness
