Finding herself alone in the wintry city of Oslo, Eleanor Flowers’ novella-in-poems Love Story tells the tale of one woman’s journey home to herself after a dangerous romance. The collection is written in dialogue with Emily Wilson’s feminist translation of Homer’s Odyssey.

The poems and song lyrics in this volume make up Eleanor Flowers’ first collection. These works have been performed as a musical cabaret at the exquisite Sommerro Hotel in Oslo since 2024 and come together to form an ode to the city itself.

Love Story is exquisitely illustrated by Norwegian artist Tanya Styrvold 💖
