À fleur de peau #[nn]

A young woman with long dark hair and freckles gazes out from this quietly striking cover by Joël Alessandra, her expression carrying a mixture of wariness and quiet resolve against a soft blue floral background. Published by Éditions Filidalo in 2018, À fleur de peau announces itself as a thoughtful, intimate work — the kind of bande dessinée that earns your attention before you even open the cover.
