I picked up this graphic novel after a couple of friends had recommended it.

Lulu is looking for a job after 15 years of raising her kids. After yet another failed interview, she decides to not go home quite yet. This leads to her leaving town, meeting a man, having some interesting experiences both good and bad.

What I loved about the book is the way it's told. Lulu's kids and friends are gathered and take turns telling what they know about what happened to Lulu and where she's been. It begins near the end of the story but quickly becomes a series of flashbacks about what has happened.

This leads to a bit of mystery about how this will all wrap up and some tense moments near the end regarding Lulu's ultimate fate.

The artwork is lovely. Mostly soft blues and oranges. Some panels have rapid-fire dialog and other pages have just images that convey parts of Lulu's story.

There were definitely some decisions Lulu made that I didn't agree with but haven't we all wanted to just run away at some point? ( )

Lulu Anew by Etienne Davodeau might seem to have a talk show-type storyline: a married mother leaves her husband and three kids behind to have adventures and find herself. But it's not, and the way the story is delivered is unlike any I've seen. Lulu is middle-aged and not a beauty (except inside). When she has eye-opening sex, her kindred spirit counterpart is no George Clooney. Who she meets along the way, what happens, and how she handles where she ends up, are all unexpected. I'll be looking for more by this author. ( )

Just what happened to Lulu after she ran away from her alcoholic husband and three children? Finding little success in trying to re-enter the job market after 16 years as a home maker, Lulu is possessed by a sudden urge to escape her joyless life. As family friends gather at the house and try to piece together an account of her time on the run, we are kept in deep suspense. How has her adventure concluded? Is Lulu alive? ( )
