This month at The Hidden Bookcase, we're reading graphic novels. Our first read is Finding Home by Hari Conner, chosen by Morgan. Let's talk art style, portrayals of abuse in fiction, and arboreal emotions!
Content warnings: Joking references to murder. Discussions of abusive relationships, including controlling behaviours and racial fetishisation, panic attacks, mental illness, addiction, alcoholism, racism, and burnout. Mentions of heroin and the Vietnam war.
