This graphic novel, based on the author’s mother’s story, depicts her hidden childhood in WWII France. Subtle shifts in palette as Catherine moves from place to place are punctuated by red-and-black darkroom scenes, contrasting beautifully with the black-and-white photos Catherine makes to document her journey.
