Hand aufs Herz

In this single-issue graphic novel from avant-verlag, writer Leïla Slimani and artist Laetitia Coryn adapt a poignant, intimate story about a family grappling with the aftermath of a violent home invasion. Originally published in French, the work explores themes of trauma, resilience, and the quiet strength of everyday life. Slimani's spare, precise writing finds a perfect visual counterpart in Coryn's expressive, warm linework, making this a quietly powerful entry in contemporary European comics.
