The White Lady is a short story about death and loss told through the eyes of a nurse caring for elderly patients. A decent but short graphic novel, the art style was beautiful and fit the theme well and I loved the use of colour as part of the storytelling. My only issue is the font was difficult to read at times.

I didn't love the art style, even though the pops of colours between the cool blues were mesmerizing, but the poignant story is truly touching. Respectfully written, it addresses difficult topics such as death, ageing, dementia and mental health struggles.

The main character, Estelle, is a kind and empathetic nurse in an assisted living centre, but the work eventually takes a toll on her, especially every time she loses the people she literally cares for.

In the end, those people were her family too, and will always be a part of her life and her most precious memories. Without making spoilers, I think that's why the end is so fitting, although surprising.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This work helped me to understand what the everyday life of a nursing assistant in an old age home is like. Beautiful work by the author. Thank you.
