review:
'A Love for the Ages' by Daniel Pennac with art by Florence Cestac is a graphic novel about an epic love story, as told by the man who knew them.

The framing story has Daniel Pennac meeting his artist friend Florence Cestac in a cafe to pitch her a chance to draw a love story. It's about Jean and Germaine, a couple that Daniel knew. Jean was a duke who married a commoner. He gave up much to follow his heart. In Germaine he found someone who loved book and naps and laughter (as well as disasters in the kitchen).

It's a humorously told story (Cestac draws all her characters with huge noses), but it's got it's tender and touching moments as well. The art is kind of ridiculous, but fits the comical story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
