thephoenixflight's review against another edition

Há algo nas histórias simples que tem o condão de nos fazer viajar para lugares felizes.
As férias do Verão sempre foram atribuladas, até porque nunca ia apenas a minha família de 3. Não...não iamos trinta pessoas, mas talvez perto de dez.
Curiosamente, também rumavamos ao Sul. Curiosamente, também as nossas viagens eram permeadas com pequenos problemas familiares.
Este é um livro que, independentemente da nossa experiência, nos vai fazer recuar no tempo e pensar em todas as nossas viagens "rumo ao sul" (mesmo que tenham ido para o norte, ou o interior, vocês é que sabem).
Mais do que ser um livro sobre férias, é um livro sobre construir memórias, algumas boas, algumas assim-assim, mas daquelas que perduram no tempo!

What a wonderful story!! Besides the narrative— which is funny and sensitive, and sometimes sad too — the drawings are so vivid you can even feel the warmth of the sunny days they picture.
It is not a book that will change you life, but it sure will make you fall in love with the characters. After I’ve finish reading it, I went back and forth re-reading the pages and admiring the drawings.
I’m looking forward to read the next volumes of the series!!

Glorious Summers was a surprisingly attaching story. It showed the intimate ups and downs of the relationship between a mother and father – at a time when life just wears them thin and they question what it is they'd like to get out of life, and how they can achieve that. They take a hard look at their marriage, their family, and how some quality time on a family road trip could reconnect them all. I would love to read more character stories just like this one.

A touching graphic novel about a family of 6 ( plus 1 imaginary friend ) who spend their summer on a family vacation. There's some tension in the marriage, some hard times for the family, but also some good ones. An easy to read story line, with beautiful artwork and stunning color choice. The family traditions were heartwarming, and I have to admit were probably my favourite part of the story. I'll be on the lookout for more from this author, for sure.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!
