review:
'Water Memory' by Mathieu Reynes with art by Valerie Vernay is about a young girl living in a strange new place and the secrets she finds.

Marion and her mother move in to an old family house that her mother has inherited. It seems like a new start of sorts, and there are lots of things to explore. Marion finds weird carvings on the cliffs and in the caves by the sea. There is a lighthouse, but the lighthouse keeper is kind of a loner. When Marion gets stuck at the lighthouse when the tide comes in, the keeper saves her, but is gruff. What is the secret he holds and why are the townspeople not talking to him?

I liked this kind of slow moving tale. The characters were interesting, and even though I kind of knew where the story was going, I still enjoyed the journey. The art is very nice and in an afterword the creators talk about how they modeled things on real places.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributor, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
