A Bride's Story #3
In "Sojourn," Kaoru Mori’s delicate storytelling and expressive art bring to life a quiet moment of connection as Mr. Smith pauses at a bustling market on his journey to Ankara and meets Talas, a woman whose past holds a series of quiet sorrows. With her mother-in-law and the gentle rhythms of daily life, Talas shares fragments of a life marked by loss, all rendered in Mori’s signature detail and emotional depth. The story, written by Kaoru Mori and William Flanagan and illustrated by Mori with inks and letters by Abigail Blackman, unfolds with a restrained beauty, its cover by Mori capturing the same quiet intimacy.
