DNF…I picked this up on a whim, and while I loved the art, I just don’t think I’m a fan of comics in general. I was trying too hard to follow the story that I was missing the artistry, and then I was too focused on the art to follow the story. It’s just not the right forum for my brain, but I will say the talent was evident from the first page! I made it through the first section but I don’t think I’ll finish it, despite the beautiful depictions!

Il primo terzo non mi ha detto nulla, dal matrimonio in poi mi è piaciuto.
L'ultima generazione, ormai francese, va a cercare le proprie origini in Portogallo, ritrovando parenti più o meno entusiasti.
Perché due persone partirono per la Francia e solo una ritornò? Perché il fratello più giovane ha accettato i doveri tipici del maggiore? Può l'ultimo erede riavvicinare la famiglia?

Uno spaccato della vita dell’autore, che è un po’ anche la mia. Ho amato tutto, soprattutto le scelte cromatiche; sono così perfette da essere una narrazione a parte. Con Portugal, Pedrosa mantiene la poltrona in prima fila che il mio cuore gli riserva. Semplicemente magnifico.

After reading Portugal, I immediately added more Pedrosa to my TBR list. Great style, in both story and art. This tale winds through geography and family history, changing perspectives and focus in the story to different family members.
The main story revolves around Simon, an uninspired artist living in France. He visits Portugal for a cousin's wedding and reconnects with family members he hasn't seen in decades, thus discovering himself and finding deeper inspiration. A familiar trope, but a slightly different take - a compelling story, beautifully illustrated.
