Un livre d’une beauté sans nom tellement émouvant

“Too late" arrives sooner than we think.”
― Alix Garin, Ne m'oublie pas

A very sweet story, it's power was in it's simplicity.

A gorgeously illustrated graphic novel that centers around the relationship between three generations of women. I was drawn from the start and read the whole book in one sitting. I especially thought that the colour choices were spot on in creating a bittersweet melancholy atmosphere. The book covers hard topics in a gentle but honest way, and really hit me in the feels! Highly recommend.

Wow. This was an intense read. And it's probably the first graphic novel to make me sob in quite a long time.

As someone who recently lost her grandma, this story hit a little too close to home. The tiny forget-me-nots reminded me of the flowers my nana used to grow in our backyard, and yup, before I knew it I was balling my eyes out.

I loved all the endearing moments between Clemence and her grandmother, and I also enjoyed seeing the flashbacks to her childhood. As someone who's not had a family member suffer from Alzheimers before, I can only imagine how hard it must be.

The author does a wonderful job illustrating Clemence and her grandmother's story, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of their works in the future~

Highly recommend you check this out.

C'est triste et beau, c'est tout plein d'émotions (snif).
J'ai aussi bien aimé le dessin, qui sert simplement mais habilement le propos.
Spoiler Et la fin me plaît, l'idée que chacun·e puisse choisir quand on préfère mourir plutôt que vivre mal (c'est peut-être moi qui y vois ce que j'ai envie d'y voir, mais peu importe, c'est ce que ça m'inspire).
