Budapeşt və Krakov olan panelləri sevdim. 2-ci hissədəki süjeti də həmçinin. Sərçə metaforu da ki <3

I'd give it probably a 3.75. As a family historian, I loved the premise, but the execution was a bit wanting. I didn't love how much of a mess he made the main character. It's one thing to make her family's concerns reasonable, but it's another to make her a total caricature. Otherwise I thought it was great. Illustrations were decent, at least not distracting if not unique. I loved the family dynamic and the history and the honesty.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The concept - a dysfunctional family takes a trip to their homeland to learn more about their past - is good. Adding in the layer that the family is Jewish and was forced to flee Europe because of Nazis makes the plot compelling, too. But some of the family drama was over-the-top for me. The main character is a mess - but her family treats her terribly. In the end, they redeem themselves a bit, but still, the book was up and down for me.

This graphic novel contains adult content and concepts
