It has been a Guppy Books day today. I just finished this wonderful, wonderful graphic memoir by Pedro Martin. It's rich in form and style and celebrates family and heritage in a gentle & humorous way. Coming from a big family I certainly connected a lot. #LetsTalkGraphicNovels

It’s 1914 Valencia #MartaPalazzesi #AmbraGatlashelli have created a superbly atmospheric story which pulls you into the busy streets of the time with powerful description tag-teaming (like Feather and Hawk do) with the haunting illustrations. A cracking read. What a cover too!
