J'attendrai ton retour #[nn]

A somber, close-cropped face dominates the foreground of Jordi Peidro's cover, his expression carrying the weight of someone caught between hope and despair — while behind him, beneath a Nazi eagle emblem, uniformed figures move through what appears to be a wartime camp or garrison. The warm amber and ochre palette gives the scene an almost dreamlike distance that makes its gravity all the more affecting. J'attendrai ton retour ("I Will Wait for Your Return") promises a deeply human story set against one of history's darkest chapters, and this 2019 Editions du Long Bec release looks like essential reading.
