Ruins by Peter Kuper

4.0

Well, don't I feel like a dummy. I didn't realize Kuper had been the artist for Spy vs. Spy since 1997 -- which explains why some of his art felt familiar. This book is a lovely story of revolution and self-discovery. I can see why it's titled Ruins, but Renewal might have been more apt. A parallel story of monarch butterfly migration parallels that of the human protagonists, and that might be the best part of this book -- seeing the journey of one particular butterfly from America to Mexico and all of the various people and places it encounters. Worth a read.
