The Property by Rutu Modan
5.0
A really thoughtful book about property, family, place...all of that good stuff. So yes, I'm a sucker for that.
I was surprised at how gentle the book is about Warsaw. It doesn't really touch the city itself - just a few people in it - but the book is a lot less pugnacious about Jews and Poland than it could have been. And I suppose, that's a huge part of the point of the book as a whole.
I don't want to ruin any of the plot twists or the like. It's a graphic novel, so it moves quickly and enjoyably. Even for the dark parts. So you have a story of family and what that family is "owed", and what they owe to each other. It's really beautiful, in that way.
