Coquelicots d'Irak #[nn]

This collected edition gathers Brigitte Findakly and Lewis Trondheim's autobiographical graphic novel recounting Findakly's childhood in 1960s-70s Iraq, before and after the Ba'athist coup. Through vignettes and a muted palette, it explores family life, cultural shifts, and the gradual erosion of normalcy under political turmoil, framed by the titular poppies as a symbol of both beauty and destruction.
