Les dessous de Saint-Saturnin #3

Part of Gallimard's charming Les dessous de Saint-Saturnin series, this third volume — Le Garage de Gége — invites readers into the everyday world of a small French neighborhood through Bruno Heitz's warm, economical line work. The cover sets the scene perfectly: a wide-open garage bay frames a rounded vintage car up on a hoist, with a figure crouched beneath it and another — an older woman in a house coat — watching from the side, tools scattered casually on the floor. There's a gentle, slice-of-life humor to it all that makes this 2023 Gallimard release feel like settling in with an old friend.
