Reading this book left me feeling both uplifted and heartbroken. The author's raw and honest artistry captures the essence of the characters' emotions in a way that is both relatable and deeply moving. The storytelling ability underlined with the illustrations is truly a raw art that draws you in. While there were moments where the cuts in the narrative made it challenging to follow, the overall effect is a mesmerizing and dream-like quality that is hard to resist. This heartfelt and poignant story is a must-read for anyone who appreciates powerful storytelling that captures the essence of the human experience in a graphic novel format. It is a book that will touch your heart and leave you thinking long after the final panel is turned.

Queer Lives Across the Wall: Desire and Danger in Divided Berlin, 1945-1970

It is a passionately written and deeply researched book that provides in-depth examination of queer history in post-WWII Berlin. The author‘s passion for the topic shines through in every page and I really appreciated that the book also gives voice to stories and experiences of queer women.

One of the undeniable strengths is its in-depth examination of letters and oral interview transcripts. The author meticulously examines the language used in these documents and provides a nuanced analysis of the meaning behind all the words.

The book adopts academic style, with the author providing lots of explanation of what will be written in the chapter and closing with a conclusion. However this fact does not make the book any less enjoyable to read.
