review:
'Turntable' by Zidrou with art by Raphael Beuchot is a graphic novel about a Belgian violinist visiting the Congo. I found it a charming story.
When Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe is invited to the Congo to give a concert, he also sees it as a chance to visit his nephew. An ailment postpones the concert and leaves him wearing a neckbrace. At his nephew's house, he meets a man named Turntable who is in charge of winding the turntable and playing music. Eugene finds there is more to Turntable than meets the eye. Eugene finds depth and friendship in a man that many simply overlook.
I really enjoyed this moving story of a man out of his element who learns to see others with new eyes. The art is really nice. This story will stay with me for a while.
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.
