[Review] The Lost Sunday by Ileana Surducan

Such a fun and emotional story, with gorgeous and quirky art. This retelling of “Frau Holle” does a fantastic joy of conveying the burnout of everyday chores and the joys of relaxation after much hard work has been achieved.

I absolutely loved the art, which is filled with whimsy. And the message, about taking a moment for yourself and relaxing, is one that most people need to be reminded of.

Fun and playful, yet still powerful and affirming.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. This version is scheduled to be released June 17, 2025. It was originally published in Romanian in 2021.
