history, Costa Rican illustrator Edo Brenes unearths a trove of stories
in his graphic novel Memories of Limón.
This meditation on the past melds melancholy and jubilation.
--Publishers Weekly
"Readers who enjoy stories with a strong sense of place, family sagas,
or travel memoirs may find enjoyment in this title, and although it
reads like
a memoir, it is a work of fiction."
--Booklist
A beautiful graphic novel of a family's oral history.
--Books With Michellee
Ramiro leaves the British drizzle and his beloved fiancé Yoss to
investigate his family history back home in Costa Rica. What starts as
an innocent fascination with an old family photo album leads to
conversations with the older generations and revelations he is not
prepared for: recounting tales of everything from affairs to adventurous
escapades, all while taking time to share a laugh over life's messier
moments.
Set on the idyllic Caribbean coastline of one of the most beautiful
countries in Latin America, author Edo Brenes weaves together the heart
breaking and humbling stories of three generations of the same family.
Love and life is a struggle in paradise, welcome to Limón.
