A beautiful graphic memoir. One of the best I have read in recent years. Delicate and brunt at the same time. It's a tale of dichotomies which also does some good work at highlighting the two central protagonists of this story. It feels odd to phrase it that way, the book being based on the writer's lived experience but it's a testament to the author's charm that it comes across that way. Absolutely recommended.
