Una historia para amantes de la música y de la ficción histórica. Un libro trágico, pero muy original.

El arte es impresionante y los colores son preciosos. 
Una joyita, que me alegro de tener en mi biblioteca.

Some of the most stunning illustrations I’ve seen in a graphic novel. This is also a beautifully redemptive story centered around music. Warning for some adult content though (sex and drug use).
