pickI felt this was a very quick read that mildly hints at the topics of war and trauma. The illustrations are sepia-toned, which gave the book a bit of a unique feel for me. That's what drew me in initially. I feel like much is alluded to and the reader can draw their own conclusions. But it wasn't done in a way that you'd feel lost as you read. If something can be both subtle and obvious, I think this book pulls that off well.
pickTold from the viewpoint of a woman looking back on a traumatic time in her childhood during un unspecified war, this deeply moving graphic novel captures the uncertainty of memories. When she was 9, she was afraid to fall asleep because every time she woke up, more of her world was destroyed. When she did sleep, it was always the same terrible dream of a line of people walking. Her family eventually joined the line.
Age 9 to adult.
