Forget Me Not
by Alix Garin
"It all seems so long ago, actually I can't compare the two. There was the one before and the one after"
Forget Me Not is an incredibly written and illustrated hard hitting graphic novel following Clémence and her Grandmother, who has Alzheimer's Disease. Clémence breaks her Grandmother out of the nursing home where she lives so she can see her childhood home for the last time.
There are so many themes in this graphic novel which hit home, as I know what it's like to see someone lost to Alzheimer's Disease and how much it effects everybody who loves and cares for the person with the disease. Watching Clémence come to terms with the Grandmother she knew as a child, and the Grandmother she knows now cannot be compared as they're completely different on the inside even though on the outside nothing has changed.
Going on the road trip with Clémence and her Grandmother was incredibly tough at times, especially a specific scene with forget me nots; it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
TW: domestic abuse, homophobia, slurs, death of a loved one, death of an animal, strained mother/daughter relationship.
