I 100% requested this book for the cover and the fact that is a comic about old men.
I am 100% pleased with my choice and loved this read. In fact, I believe I need to read more!
This is a short read, it took me no time at all to read through it. Mostly because I wanted to know what was going to happen next! This story follows 3 old men and a pregnant woman. The opening of the story is a funeral of one of the character's wives. Upon getting some..disappointing (to say the least!) news, he gets in his car with a gun to settle some newly unresolved feelings. His two friends and his pregnant grand daughter are fast on the trail to stop this old man from ruining what is left of his life.
The story is great. These old men are fantastic. The grand daughter is perfect.

What a fabulous graphic novel which ends with a cliff-hanger. I cannot wait for the next installment. Beautifully drawn, the story is lovely and the characters well-drawn (both literally and metaphorically). What a charming and nostalgic novel.

Super fun to read and the illustrations are wonderful!! I especially loved the flashback scenes and the way they were presented with a coloration change segue. This needs to be read in physical form or on a table, not e-reader as it is in full color and so visually appealing.

This is an interesting way to tell a story, with old protagonists involved, as well as one very pregnant grandchild, trying to find the mystery of stolen gold, and a love affair, as they travel from France to Italy.
And guess what? Not too much gratuitous female nudity for once, from a European comic book writer. (I mean there are a few scenes where we see a nude back, and some of the women have some tight clothes, but not bad).
And we are left with a mystery, at the end, to be resolved, I take, in the future translations of this book.
Thanks to NetGalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Couldn't leave it before i read it from the beginning til the end - it caught my eye at first sight - really beautiful drawings, lovely colours, so nice affectionate painted characters. I'd love to see and read more of them!
