Les Sirènes de Bagdad #[nn]

Adapted by Winoc from Yasmina Khadra's acclaimed novel, this French-language graphic album from Philéas brings the haunting world of Les Sirènes de Bagdad to vivid visual life. The cover says it all: a young man gazes skyward, caught between the graceful minaret of a mosque and a military helicopter cutting through a pale sky — a quietly powerful image of a life suspended between heritage and conflict. It's a beautifully restrained piece of cover art that sets a serious, human tone for the story within.
