Kat has no responsibilities and nothing to tie her down. She'd graduated
university with no plans. She was an artist, but hadn't drawn in five
years. She was lost. And she'd been avoiding admitting to herself
something that all of those around her knew: that her boyfriend,
Richard, has some serious problems with alcohol.
Looking for a fresh start, the two of them quit their jobs and embark on
a journey to Mexico for what what they expected to be the adventure of a
lifetime. Their experiences changed both of their lives, and Kat
rediscovered a love of art, grew a lifelong attachment to Mexico, and
uncovered the strength to move on.
The debut graphic novel from Katriona Chapman is a beautifully
illustrated recounting of a trip she made around Mexico back in 2003,
interspersed with pages of her sketchbook from that time and
explorations of the culture, history, and bio-diversity of Mexico.
Follow Me In is part memoir, part coming-of-age story, part love letter
to Mexico, and is a major work from one of the best comics makers in the
UK.
