Reviews
Funny and sweetly told graphic novel debut full of reminiscences. * Publishers Weekly *
Brenes digs into the family's secrets, revealing affairs, superstitions, ruined football careers and memories from the civil war of 1948 in this charmingly illustrated collection of anecdotes. * The Monocle *
For a first graphic novel (...) it's sturdy step, and Brenes should become a talent whose work is anticipated. -- Karl Verhoven * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide *
