ROMAN
Rose on the island / Michel Rabagliati by Nathalie
Summer 2017, Rose and her father rented a chalet on Île Verte, in Bas-Saint-Laurent. For Paul, this is the first father-daughter vacation. Following professional fatigue and the death of his parents, he felt the need to take stock. In this haven of peace, he will begin a new chapter in his life. In Rose à l’île, Michel Rabagliati, a Quebec cartoonist, abandons boxes and bubbles for the graphic novel. He mixes sensitive, tender texts carried by soft and realistic drawings in black and white.
