An interesting story with attractive typography and artwork. An important subject matter and good use of colour.

Beautiful contrasting artworks and a great story to go with it all. I'll definitely be recommending this one to people.

Created in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the Charlie offices, this book is a stunningly drawn, deeply felt tribute to both the event and how the writer came to terms with it. She brings survivor's guilt, anger and hope and draws them all together into one graceful, gritty book. I couldn't put this down.

Lightness is a translation of Catherine Meurisse's 'La légèreté'. Originally published in French, this graphic memoir is a poignant and stunning account of Meurisse's encounter with the terrorist attack in the Charlie Hebdo offices in 2015.

Meurisse is brutally honest yet darkly humorous in her telling of her experience and weaves in beautiful philosophy and poetry. 

Lightness is magnificently illustrated (by Meurisse herself) and each page goes beyond the words; I strongly recommend taking the time to take in all the intricate details.

The best way to enjoy Lightness is to become acquainted with it yourself - I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Europe Comics for providing a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful, sometimes chaotic journey through grief. Artwork draws you in, pulls you through the story. Sparse line work leaves space for the reader to imagine themselves in place of the author. Highly recommended for adult collections.
