It is really a fascinating memoir. I learned a lot, and it was wonderful to read a voice from that time period, and know what happened to at least one family. The artwork is great. The art actually adds a lot to the story. Sometimes novels or memoirs spend too much time describing things that can more easily be shown, which distracts from the feelings invoked. Refugees have much to deal with, and their sense of loss, ennui, and bewilderment needs telling. The struggle is what is important, not long-winded descriptions of a boat, or a sunset, or things that really don't advance the story, so that is something that I love about a graphic novel like this. Art can show these things in great detail, without straying from the storytelling.
