Gast by Carol Swain
Set against the backdrop of the Welsh countryside, this graphic novel follows the introspective journey of a young girl named Helen as she investigates the mysterious death of a "rare bird"—a reclusive man named Emrys. Through her exploration, Helen encounters a tapestry of local characters and animals, each contributing to her understanding of identity, loneliness, and the human condition. The narrative unfolds with a quiet, contemplative pace, blending elements of mystery and self-discovery, while the stark, monochromatic illustrations evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection.
