Susceptible

<p><b>"...an aching clarity [is] evident in [Castrée's] sombre grey tones and her dexterous, serpentine lines."-<i>Globe & Mail</i> Best 100 Books of 2013</b></p><p>"With mesmerizing honesty Castrée resurrects the obscenely disorienting turning points of a childhood, the ones that haunt a person for a lifetime. After reading the last page I closed the book and wept a little bit about its simple, perfect ending."<br><b>-MIRANDA JULY</b>, author of <i>It Chooses You </i>and <i>No One Belongs Here More Than You</i></p><p>Goglu is a daydreamer with a young working mother, a disengaged stepfather, and a father who lives five thousand miles away. Drawing, punk rock, and the promise of true independence guide Goglu to adulthood while her home's daily chaos inevitably shapes her identity. <i>Susceptible</i> is a devastating graphic novel debut by Geneviève Castrée; it's a testament to the heartbreaking loss of innocence when a child is forced to be the adult amongst grownups..</p>
