Let's take a look at history. How does a nation choose to respond to tragic events? Say.... 9/11? Death of Marilyn Monroe? Kennedy's assassination? Sandy Hook? Columbine? Or even disease outbreaks like ebola?



Has acceptance of tragedy been a smooth path for the masses? Or has mass hysteria been a thing that resonates across time, dating back to the days of the Great Plague?

Sabrina was an ordinary woman, who didn't return home one night. A nation fell into disarray as a videotape disclosed a gruesome murder.



Sabrina is not a mystery novel, it is a story of a nation's conscience. The response of a nation and how it impacts the people who are directly affected by the tragedy. For instance, how did the grieving parents feel when conspiracy theorists lashed out saying Sandy Hook was a fake incident? Or when people say 9/11 was an inside-job? How does this social crises, aggravated by the Internet on social media platforms where people post questionable content relating to the tragedy from anonymous sources, impact a nation? What happens when fact-checking goes out the window?



The first graphic-novel to be considered for the Man Booker Prize, Sabrina paints a compelling image of social conscience and coping mechanisms after a tragedy. The images are crisp, minimalist and haunting. Welcome to post-9/11 America, where fear, distrust and paranoia makes a nation go off the rails.... or does it?

A must-read.
