pickThis graphic novel offers an interesting look at family relationships. I liked where it was trying to go with part of its key message about family and being connected through generations. The other part of the message seemed like it had good heart but was uninformed, seeming to say that we should always give our family a chance to hurt us before we detach ourselves. #lgbtqcomic #lgbtq #comic #family
pickI enjoyed this graphic novel about an Italian family all living under one roof in spite of many conflicts, some decades-old. The main character/narrator is a 22-year-old boy who is returning to his rural hometown after years away in Milan. He left because his dad found out he was gay, so when he returns he stays with his grandma and many other relatives in her home. It‘s about family, and growing up, and the ties between generations.

Here is a 3-Generational photo! We made it there safely 😁. Thank you so much for all the well wishes 😘🤗😘🤗 I will be back to reading this evening when we get back to the hotel. I brought my stack with me! 😉📖📚
pickThanks @queerbookreader for your review on this the other day. This is about a young man who runs away from his father without giving him a chance to accept him and lives in the big city for 3 yrs before coming back. Most importantly, this is about how families reconcile, forgive, forget, come together. As one who comes from a family of grudge holders this graphic black and white novel with its sparse language spoke volumes to me. Just great❤️
pickREAL good. I regret taking so long to read this comic. I can't really explain it but it's sort of like a coming of age comic about a gay guy who's already an adult but has family issues and his family has other issues and it's basically about multigenerational issues. It doesn't sound compelling when I explain it but I teared up at multiple parts so IT'S GOOD I PROMISE #queerbooks
so-soThis was a touching coming-of-age tale written in graphic novel format. The story especially appealed to me because it was about a big Italian family. I, personally, I came from a very small family so I really enjoyed family interactions. Good, bad, or ugly, I could relate to these people.

Generations tells the story of Matteo's return to his strict, dysfunctional Italian family after his boyfriend dumps him. Now he's confronted by overbearing aunts, a sick grandmother, and a father who's ashamed of Matteo. Through the panels of this graphic novel we see Matteo grow into a more mature man, learning to apologize, forgive, and be present for those who need him. The story was great, but I didn't like the style of artwork.
