Description
Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir masterfully recounts her childhood growing up in a funeral home, a place that was both her family's business and their sanctuary. As she navigates her own coming-of-age and burgeoning sexuality, she unearths the complex secrets of her family, particularly her father's hidden life. This poignant and visually stunning narrative explores themes of identity, family dynamics, memory, and the power of art to reveal truth.
