At times hard to comprehend, this journal in graphic novel format recounts the stories of Marcelle Balthazar’s family, and Marguerite Bevoets fight during the Belgium occupation of WW2. Because it is journal format, days, sometimes weeks or years are skipped in the story. It give you insight into what it was like to have a large family struggle in times of war. Education was scarce, food was scarce, but family was plenty. Blended in to this story is that of Margurite whose time as a newspaper person was seem to some as a spy and to others as a hero. Overall I liked the story, and realize it is in journal format. But I wish for the graphic novel medium the holes in the stories would have been filed in.
