    Author Jesse Lee Kercheval
    “Book Descriptions: Told in a series of stories that blend boldly expressionistic and dreamlike colors with spare and unflinching text, French Girl is Jesse Lee Kercheval’s debut graphic memoir. Exploring the relationship with her mother, her childhood, her own motherhood, and the passage of time, French Girl is a reflection on the material and immaterial ways that our families affect us.

    "With dreamlike drawings reminiscent of Chagall, Kercheval welcomes us into her meditation on family history, motherhood, grief, love, and displacement, rendered in colors so beautiful they're almost edible."
    — Leela Corman, author of Victory Parade, You Are Not A Guest

    "The pages of French Girl could be framed and hung in a museum, but lucky for us they are bound in our hands, sequencing a creative vision. With this gorgeous marriage of minimalism and expressionism, Kercheval conjures dreams, fairy tales, and persistent aches; a witness to the surreal pain of lost worlds and the exuberant beauty of remembrance."
    — Amy Kurzweil, author of Artificial: A Love Story

    “French Girl is an arresting and beautiful memoir that evokes the infinite complications of daughterhood and motherhood in raw, gorgeous color. It pulses with heart, figuratively and literally."
    — Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See

    "Jesse Lee Kercheval has reached all the way down to the very bottom of a lake called Story and rescued the faces once forgotten there. And French Girl is the beautiful tale these faces have been waiting their whole lives to tell."
    — Sabrina Orah Mark, author of Happily
