Somewhere in Europe Nikke Allen

The concluding second volume of "Somewhere in Europe" Love does not discriminate. Love can happen to anyone. Todd, 19, a Eurovision Song Contest fan who has recently come out as gay, heads to Malta for the Contest - his first time at Eurovision. There, he meets 23 year-old Greek Cypriot Argyris Dimitriadis, whose crazy mission seems to be to get his photograph taken with all the singers of this year's Eurovision - whilst they hold a white plastic picnic fork he owns. Despite Argyris being described as an "obsessed freak" by a clique of UK fans whom Todd is friends with, Todd feels increasingly attracted to the one-armed Argyris, whom Todd learns posesses a style and an individuality all his own. Just what is the secret behind that white plastic picnic fork? Argyris doesn't say, but as the days go by, Todd finds himself wanting to help Argyris complete his crazy mission - and also finds himself falling in love. This is a story of friendship and love, of humour and feeling, of being different, and of individuality fighting back against cliques and narrow-mindedness - all set to the backdrop of the Eurovision Song Contest; two crazy weeks in May when fans from all over Europe converge in one country to attend the most important event of their year...
