The House
Checking Availibility...Description
The graphic novel The House is at once deeply personal (dedicated to Roca's own deceased father) and entirely universal. Three adult siblings return to their family's vacation home a year after their father's death. They each bring their respective wives, husbands, and children with the intention to clean up the residence and put it on the market. But, as garbage is hauled off and dust is wiped away, decades-old resentments quickly fill the vacant home. Roca asks what happens to brothers and sisters when the only person holding the family together is now gone.
About this Author
Reviews
"Roca examines grief as an overstuffed house that the bereaved must restore, rebuild, and, ultimately, let go in this touching and pensive ensemble cast graphic novel."
"A melancholy and deeply sympathetic meditation on sibling dynamics and the role memory plays in the grieving process."
"A study of the complex relationships of family and the ties that bind from a storyteller whose powerful depiction of human frailties is both haunting and ever recognisable."
"A moving exploration of family dynamics in the face of loss. Roca's illustrations bring it to a whole other level and make The House the gorgeous piece of art that it is."
