challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.5

Lecture difficile, sujet qui pèse.  Ma partie préférée était le groupe de soutien, les gens divers qui ont tous vécu une telle perte.  Comment continue -t-on face à une perte comme celle là, et pour le personnage principal et sa conjointe, une perte qui ne se rachète pas...?

On cherche à comprendre le pourquoi, on se culpabilise, mais je ne sais pas si elle nous a vraiment appris, comment prendre ses premiers pas, passer ces journées...

emotional hopeful fast-paced

5.0

I sobbed for almost the whole of this graphic novel. It was such an emotional and brutal journey of a lesbian couple finally convincing a child after years of waiting. But then they end up having a miscarriage. Waves was a truly heart breaking and uplifting story full of grief & how we build back after the impossible happens.

shrutislibrary's review against another edition

dark emotional hopeful sad fast-paced

5.0

A heartbreaking story of a couple finding hope, joy, and strength after emerging from the grief of a lost child, illustrated with poetic frames set against the metaphor of a mother's dream drowning in the depths of the ocean of sadness. But in the end, they find a string of hope to tether them together.
