A review by lizaroo71
Sylvie by Sylvie Kantorovitz

3.0

I picked this up at the library because I found the cover simple yet whimsical. This is a graphic memoir divided into sections of the young Kantorovitz's life. The young Sylvie grew up in France, but was born in Moracco. This, along with being Jewish, make her feel outside of her classmates.

Sylvie finds her place among the papers and pens in her dad's office. She loves drawing and finds peace when she is creating art.

I found the simple drawings peaceful and easy on the eye. The text coupled with the images make this easy to follow.

I liked the various vignettes in Kantorovitz's life from her childhood into what direction she'd like to go in her studies when matriculating. The ending alludes to a second (possibly a third) volume.
