Roughneck by Jeff Lemire

5.0

If you've never read any Jeff Lemire, you are missing out! Lemire's stories are heart-wrenchingly beautiful, and his latest (Roughneck), lives up to that sentiment.

Set in the heart of a small Canadian town, a former NHL player struggles to keep his troubled past from controlling his post-hockey life. This task becomes elevated when his equally-damaged sister rolls into town one winter unannounced.
