Clemence is a young student and actress who is suffering through her own sadness when she visits her grandmother in her nursing home. Her grandmother is suffering from memory loss and keeps trying to escape from the nursing home because she is not happy there and yearns to return to her family home on the sea coast. Clemence springs her loose and the two embark on a roadtrip to the coast. Along the way they have moments of connection, moments where grandma doesn't remember who Clemence is or how old she is. Clemence has flashbacks to moments from her past, good memories with her mother, bad memories with school mates that all help to paint the picture of where Clemence currently is emotionally. The book is about Clemence and her grandmother and their journey, but in my eye, the grandmother was foil to show us more about Clemence. Through her journey with her grandmother, Clemence learns more about herself and her relationships. This was an emotional graphic novel, with lovely illustrations. It was truly a moving and often intense read about love, family, loss, sexuality and self.


Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!

Beautiful art, wonderful touching story. It really conveys the idea of a relationship between a grandma and her niece but also what it means to slowly loose a loved one to something we cannot control. It is a ode to family and the love we share, despite the differences, despite of what life throws at us.
