I really like Tyler's illustrations, they telegraph her emotions in a way that matters more to me than the technical aspects of the craft. I like the way she weaves the current story into her dad's backstory, and the way she is able to make the exigencies of life both universal and personal. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

It's an illustrated memoir (can't say "graphic novel" for a non-fiction book) about her father's experiences in WWII and their effects down through years on the family. The two books are well done, and they've won all sorts of awards, but don't really grab me. The second in a planned three-volume series, this is a title that I've found myself recommending until I'm blue in the face but haven't had many people take me up on it. It's probably my pitch for the book, because I could never blame Tyler's fabulous retelling of how she dug reminiscences of World War II from a very reluctant and prickly father. Presented in scrapbook form, the story isn't limited to her father alone and includes tales of her family as she grew up, her mother's devastation after losing her first child, and her own struggles with her teenage daughter and estranged husband. Maybe it's won over the critics, but I would like to see this be embraced more by the reading public who shouldn't pass it by. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
