Tamara Drewe GN (2008) comic books

1st printing. Story and art by Posy Simmonds. Like her acclaimed Gemma Bovery, Posy Simmonds' Tamara Drewe is a funny and wise original novel in graphic form, with a delightfully sly nod to a literary classic as well as to contemporary mores. An aspiring American novelist, Glen Larson, is returning to a crime writer's retreat in the English countryside, run by long-suffering Beth Hardiman and her husband, Nicholas, a charismatic detective novelist. Into their midst arrives newspaper columnist Tamara Drewe, whose recent nose job has given her a newfound confidence. Aware of her powers over men, Tamara little suspects that local teens Casey and Jody keep tabs on her every move, including her torrid affair with Nicholas. S nooping in Tamara's house, Casey and Jody soon begin sending e-mails from her computer - with unexpectedly dark consequences. Softcover, 9-in. x 10-in., full color. Cover price $16.95.
