What We Don't Talk About by Charlot Kristensen

5.0

A beautifully illustrated, important book about an interracial couple who go to visit her white boyfriend's parents. This graphic novel explores racism, and that it isn't always just about racial slurs - but entrenched and damaging stereotypes and ignorance.
I loved the use of the weather as a device for storytelling and foreshadowing.
The character depictions are emotive and raw, and this was a powerful book about personal strength.
