Wow - the illustrations in this graphic novel floored me. I absolutely loved how Simon Gane captured the way Paris really feels.
I couldn't really tell the era. Juliet looked like she was in the 50s or 60s but Deborah was from the 1800s so I was a little confused.
However, I did like the sapphic romance element.
I found that there was an element of parody of how we perceive Paris and french people throughout the storyline, in fact of all the places, UK, France and the USA. All quite obvious but I can forgive it because the illustrations were just so good.
The story was ok - there were some elements which could have gone further and been explored more but I guess there is only so much you can include in a graphic novel, a lot will be subtext.
I would love some of the art as prints for my room though - the art is what gives it the score I have given it.
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this ARC.
