"For its tenderness, nuance, and complex portrait of the traumas left by childhood sexual abuse, Memories of Giselle is a standout graphic novel." —Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)
Memories of Giselle is a harrowing and deeply human coming-of-age tale about memory, trauma, and the long, difficult road towards reclaiming one’s life.
Despite her warm smile and gentle spirit, Giselle is burdened. Her grandmother is unwell, her father’s business is struggling, her brother is distant, and lately, she feels that something is deeply wrong with her. As adolescence brings struggles with intimacy and vulnerability, fragments of the past begin to surface, leading Giselle to a truth she may not be ready to face.
