Summary:
The final volum in a touching family saga.
Riad Sattouf’s over 1,000-page graphic novel, spanning over three decades, about growing up between two cultures ends with the events of the Syrian civil war.
The turbulent story of the family of a French mother and a Syrian father continues from 1994. Riad attends high school in Brittany while her heart-broken mother mourns her youngest son, Fadi, who was kidnapped by his father and taken to Syria. The grandparents become fragile, and the artistically talented Riad searches for his place in the world that is changing around him. Is there any hope left that Sattouf’s divided family could still be reunited?
“One of the world’s most beautiful autobiographies.” Yann Barthès, Quotidien .
