Before he leaves the hospital, however, Louis is diagnosed with \u201ca serious congenital malformation of the heart,\u201d requiring challenging family adjustments. While Camille and Bastien desperately juggle jobs and finances \u2013 and neverending fear \u2013 Camille\u2019s father, Pablo, steps in, devotedly caring for the children three days a week, until his own health takes a downturn.<\/p>\n<p>Smoothly translated by J.T. Mahany, Esp\u00e9\u2019s latest is an empathically rendered, exquisitely detailed, full-color presentation of an extended family\u2019s unconditional love and support through crises. Scenes of Pablo\u2019s relationship with his grandchildren are extraordinarily affecting. Bastien\u2019s stereotypically gendered hopes for his children (dancing for Chlo\u00e9, biking \u201cwith my little guy\u201d for Louis) seem strikingly out of character, but the final image at book\u2019s end proves particularly healing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booklistonline.com\/The-Pass-\/pid=9765004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">&#8220;Graphic Novels,&#8221; <em>Booklist Online<\/em>, June 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2022 (United States)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French comics creator Esp\u00e9 made his spectacular translated debut with The Parakeet\u00a0(2021), inspired by his childhood with a mother battling mental illness.
