(W/A/CA) Katia Vecchio A tender, coming-of-age, slice-of-life graphic novel that explores the psychological journey of a young woman carrying the weight of childhood trauma. Giselle grows up haunted by the constant memories of her grandmother and a single, haunting image of a boat—a symbol of a trauma she has long buried. As adolescence brings struggles with intimacy and vulnerability, fragments of the past begin to surface, leading her to a devastating truth she had long repressed. MEMORIES OF GISELLE is a harrowing yet deeply human coming-of-age tale about memory, trauma, and the courage it takes to reclaim one’s life.
