La Propriété

A quietly powerful graphic novel from French publisher Actes Sud, La Propriété (2013–present) follows an elderly Jewish woman and her adult grandson as they travel to post-communist Eastern Europe to reclaim a family property lost during the Holocaust. Created by writer Rutu Modan, this single-issue work explores the tangled legacies of memory, displacement, and inheritance with a warm, nuanced touch. Its restrained, emotionally resonant storytelling marks it as a standout in contemporary European comics.
