The Adventuress - Audrey Niffenegger

I've read both of her novels, and had been aware that she'd written some graphic novels earlier in her career so when a saw this in the library i had to take it out.

Although to be honest, it's so sparse that I could have stood in the library and read it in about five minutes!

Each double page spread has a few words of text opposite a excellent illustration. They tell the story of a created girl who is abducted, gives birth to a cat, turns into a moth, and ..... No I won't spoil the story, but needless to say it's extremely weird!

I was left wondering what was happening in the authors life to bring on these disturbing images.
