Palimpsest: Documents from a Korean Adoption by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom

5.0

This unique and gorgeous graphic memoir was one of my favourite reads of 2020. I love her style of drawing characters, and the cover is one of the most brilliant layered pieces of art I've ever seen. The title "Palimpsest" is such a perfect name for the layers that Lisa uncovers as she searches for identity as a Korean adoptee. Loved following the story, the attention to detail, and the accurate depiction of what search and reunion can really look like for adopted people.
