Joana Estrela - Gato Comum

Considered by critics to possess "an overwhelming narrative voice," Joana Estrela returns to graphic novels with a story that follows the final days of a cat's life and the difficult decisions that weigh on the family that takes him in.

A moving book about grief, which also celebrates the life of a cat within a human family: the complicities, the frights, the habits and quirks—and, finally, the days that force farewell.

"It's Saturday morning. The cat is still alive. But he's also still dying."
