Dark. Almost oppressive. A woman searches her family's history to understand what they did or did not do in Nazi Germany. Readable but for the subject matter which made it pretty hard to read. For added resonance, an important chunk of the book takes place in Karlsruhe - the only part of Germany I've been to. Certainly shows the quite varied way graphic novels can be used to tell a story. Another book I wouldn't have found without the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize.
