With no details and few generalities, writer/artist Fermin Solis still confers a number of ideas to the reader: primarily, that the main character, Olga, is just one among several thousand disenchanted youths drifting around Europe with no prospects, no future, and no fury. Luckily, Olga happens into a drug dealer�cum�model named Lucia who looks after her with the care of a fellow migrant in similar circumstances. One gets the idea that Olga survives largely on the charity of such people, though never beyond the extent of her stay in a featureless hostel. The subdued ending, in light of what might be a rather large resolution in another book, is fitting to Olga�s hazy roving, which in the larger sense of the story, doesn�t seem so random after all. � Brendan McGinley
