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).

The art in this book is absolutely gorgeous! I also enjoyed the story and found the twist at the end heartwarming and touching. Overall, an enjoyable read!

TW: Part of the book is set during the Nazi occupation of France - so mentions of concentration camps, Nazi soldiers as minor characters, etc.
