I love this graphic novel and the film - my French teacher in college showed it to my class and it moved me so much more than I was expecting. I’ve introduced the novel to several friends, so many end up keeping the copy I lend them and just sending me a new one 🤣

Its like having a relative telling you stories of their youth as they lived as normal people during a historical time. Id never thought of recommending it since its a comic (graphic novel?) and if its not obvious, super stoked about seeing your take on it.
