Pome #[nn]

Beneath an arch of warm autumn trees, Pome brings together a charming cast of characters — a distinguished older gentleman, two adults, and a trio of children including a curly-haired girl at the center — rendered in Magali le Huche's delightfully expressive, loose-lined style. Marie Despléchin and le Huche's collaboration, published by Rue de Sèvres, radiates the kind of gentle, everyday warmth that makes French bande dessinée so endearing. A lovely 2018 album that feels like stumbling upon a family portrait full of personality and life.
