Portugal by Cyril Pedrosa
4.0
1 of 2 books I was accidentally reading simultaneously that were partially set in Portugal! (other was The Tenth Island). It's funny how sometimes I coincidentally end up reading books with similarities due to timings of library holds and reading challenges. :)
This over-sized graphic novel (good luck fitting this one in your purse!) focuses on Simon, a writer/artist who grew up in France and feels stagnant in his life and his writing (also similar to main person in the Tenth Island). He begins an emotional and real journey to discover his roots, which eventually leads him to Portugal. Simon starts coming to life as his "journey" continues.
This book wasn't action-packed or intense it was more of a meandering path following Simon to writer's conferences, family reunions and beyond.
