The artwork is fantastic and has a pleasing color palette. The hard edges add a lot of personality to the pages. Though some of the names are the same as well as the backstories, I'd say this is only loosely based on the real women involved. While their illness was certainly a driving force in the story, it was more about social and personal issues at the time. There are a lot of gaps in the narrative, too, and though those gaps are typically filled with artwork, it still felt like something was missing. In any case, I've been looking forward to reading this for a while now and was thrilled when it was finally restocked. It was an enjoyable read as well as an emotional one.
