Ofelia: A Love and Rockets Book (LOVE & ROCKETS LIBRARY GILBERT GN)

<p><strong>In the latest Gilbert Hernandez volume of the <em>Love and Rockets</em> library series, Ofelia threatens to write a book about Luba, and Fritz and Pipo fall in love.</strong></p> In <em>Ofelia</em>, the sisters, the kids, and the cousins are all settled comfortably in California after leaving Palomar in <em>Luba and Her Family</em>. Luba and her cousin Ofelia’s relationship has always been fraught, but when Ofelia threatens to write a book about Luba, past memories, secrets, resentments, and pain resurface. Meanwhile, Luba’s children―genius Socorro, recently out-and-proud Doralis, and prickly Maricela―show that a talent for trouble may be hereditary. Luba’s sisters, Fritz and Petra, swap lovers (as usual), but . . . are Fritz and family friend Pipo sittin’ in a tree? These vividly drawn characters are charged with Hernandez’s trademark complexity; they live, love, age, fight― and die―in this sweeping, multi-generational saga. Black & white
