Vivid and quirky art. The story however, felt a bit flat for me. And, worse, the matriarchal main character is essentially defined by the crumbs on her clothes. The whole thing had a subtle ridiculing / bullying / condescending vibe, which I didn't like. I actually felt sorry for the main character.
Note: I received this book as an ARC, post factum. It was published November 5, 2024.
