review:
'Window Horses' by Ann Marie Fleming is a graphic novel based on her film. It's a story about finding your voice and your family.

Rosie Ming is a young Chinese/Persian poet living in Vancouver. When she publishes a book of poems about Paris, she finds herself invited to a poetry gathering in Shiraz, Iran. It's a chance for her to travel. She meets people along the way who stretch her poetic gift. She learns about famous poets from Iran. She learns about her father, who abandoned her when she was quite young, and she finds out that some stories are more complicated than first imagined.

I really liked this graphic novel. The art style varies from the almost stick figure Rosie Ming, to some of the elaborate drawings illustrating the stories of ancient poets. I initially wasn't sure what to expect, but in the end, I found it to be moving.

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