Description
A Gift for a Ghost by Borja Gonzalez is a thought-provoking graphic novel that explores the universal hopes and desires of young women across centuries. Two parallel stories, set in 1856 and 2016, intertwine as their worlds begin to overlap. In one story, a young aristocrat with a passion for avant-garde horror poetry navigates the constraints of her time. In the other, three teenage girls form a punk band and grapple with finding their place in the world. As their paths converge, they're haunted by echoes from the past, revealing the enduring power of youthful dreams and desires. With elegant cartooning and a beautiful autumnal color palette, González crafts a quietly emotional tale that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and aspirations.
