Quatre soeurs #2

The second volume of Quatre Sœurs centers on Hortense, shown here standing alone in a sweeping snowfield, her striped scarf caught in the wind and red mittens clutched to her chest as snowflakes swirl around her — a dark, turreted house just visible in the distance. Adapted by Cati Baur from Malika Ferdjoukh's beloved novel series, this 2014 Rue de Sèvres release captures a quiet, melancholy poetry that sets it apart from typical graphic storytelling. If the cover's mood is any indication, Hortense's story promises something tender and atmospheric.
