Gemma Bovery #[nn]

"Gemma Bovery" is a quietly devastating portrait of disconnection and desire, drawn with sharp wit and meticulous detail by Posy Simmonds, who handles every aspect of the story—from writing and art to inking and lettering. Set in the French countryside, it unfolds through the eyes of a local baker who becomes an unlikely chronicler of Gemma’s unraveling life, piecing together her secrets from her private diaries. The cover, also by Simmonds, captures the story’s melancholic elegance in its restrained, evocative lines.
