Description
Artichoke Tales by Megan Kelso is a poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of war. In a world where artichoke leaves replace hair, Brigitte's family finds itself torn between two warring sides. This powerful graphic novel weaves together elements of Little House on the Prairie, The Thorn Birds and Dharma Bums to create a moving tale of family amidst conflict. Kelso's unique visual storytelling combines delicate linework with rhythmic page compositions, creating a dramatic tension between intimate character studies and the unflinching depiction of war's consequences. With its thoughtful pacing and nuanced exploration of family dynamics, Artichoke Tales is a thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page is turned. Hardcover edition, 232 pages.
