MEMORIES OF GISELLE OGN

An empathetic coming-of-age graphic novel in the slice-of-life style, exploring the psychological journey of a young woman carrying the weight of childhood trauma. Giselle grows up haunted by the constant memories of her grandmother and the persistent image of a boat – a symbol of a long-suppressed trauma.

As puberty brings difficulties with intimacy and vulnerability, fragments of the past push to the surface and lead her to a devastating truth she has long repressed. Memories of Giselle is a shattering, yet deeply human coming-of-age narrative about memory, trauma and the courage to reclaim one’s own life.
