Great small graphical novel about the obvious, yet silent racism that exists.
A girlfriend and boyfriend visits the boyfriend's family. While there yhe parents keep making disrespectful and racist comments about the girlfriend, farai, and the boyfriend refuses to acknowledge, or tries to explain it away.
Didn't really catch a whole lot from this. A girl returns to her childhood town. There is not a lot of direct plot, a lot is just going through, visiting a creek, her father, and running into a few old classmates here and there.
I think there are some symbolism regarding her life throughout.
The artwork is nice - reminds me a bit of Sable, the video game.
Another graphical novel from avery hill, in the style I've read quite a few books from them now: small stories taken from someone's life.
Phillips story is no different. The story feels both hopeful, happy, depressing and sad, with me feeling the words "yeah.... Yeah i get that feeling too" at the end. Life, love and expectations can be hard, and the novel expresses them well in an artstyle thats unique without being special. All in all a good read.
