Emily White: Mom's Friend, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Emily White's manga-inspired stories move through spaces where intimacy grows slowly-summer afternoons, sunlit rooms, and the quiet tension of emotions that remain unspoken. Her artwork captures the fragile moment when admiration transforms into something deeper, revealing the beauty of desire awakening inside ordinary memories. In the title story, Marcos recalls the summers spent at the seaside house of Matilde, his mother's radiant and independent friend. One afternoon, standing alone in the bathroom, he notices a photograph of her by the harbor: wind-touched hair, sun-warmed skin, a smile that seems almost directed at him.

The moment feels suspended in time until the door suddenly opens and Matilde herself appears, laughter sparkling in her eyes as she helps him to his feet after an awkward slip on the tiles. Their shared embarrassment dissolves into a secret neither speaks about again, yet everything between them subtly changes. In Emily White's illustrated world, a single glance can linger for years-like sunlight that refuses to fade from memory.
