This is a bit of an unconventional love story, if only because the characters are older. Or because they're already living together. Or because it's told entirely in illustration and there's no dialogue or captions.
It's the story of a salty old fisherman who goes out one day, only to be thrown off course and stranded at sea in his little fishing boat. He lives off sardines, befriends a seagull, is captured by coast guard, freed by pirates... it's a rollicking sea adventure.
His wife is left at home, of course, until she sets off to rescue him. She takes a cruise to Jamaica, ends up in Cuba, becomes famous for teaching posh women how to crochet... it's all rather absurd.
And in the end, the two are reunited. We see little flashes of their childhoods and their relationship together, but it's the beginning and the end of the book that inform the reader as to the nature of their love. This is certainly not a book for everyone, but how refreshing to read about a couple already in love and finding their way back together! ( )

Another wordless graphic novel. Quick read. Entertaining. Love-adventure story of both the fisherman lost at sea (via Pirates), and his wife set on finding him (via a cruise to Cuba). Full colour illustrations, something Raymond Briggsy- and Quentin Blakesy about this one. ( )
