review:
'Sour Apple' by Jerzy Szylak with illustrations by Joanna Karpowicz tells the story of a marriage slowly unwinding.

The story is told through the prayers of a young woman. She has what, at first, seems to be a perfect marriage. Over the course of the story, she becomes more and more abused. She thinks it is her fault, at least that's what her prayers seem to say. As the abuse becomes more pervasive, finally she decides she must do something.

The story is fictional as far as I know, but the story elements have the feeling of truth. The illustrations are acrylic painted on canvas-textured paper, so they have a richness that is real and surreal. It's not a comfortable story to read, nor should it be, but I'm glad I got to read it.

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.
