Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Magnificent. Her writing is gorgeous, personal, reflective and honest without being trite. Of course she is searching for absolution, but she never really gets it and is ultimately okay with it. I think the way she reflects on her grandfather being formally classified as a “coward” is really thought-provoking and important for all of us to consider when we see oppression (on a macro and micro level) happening in real time. Fact woven in with family history beautifully. A masterclass in making history personal. And of course, visually stunning. I’ve never seen a graphic novel quite like it.
