  • The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood.

    I’ll just steal the description from Amazon "Billie Scott is an artist.

    Her debut gallery exhibition opens in a few months.

    Within a fortnight she’ll be completely blind.

    Zoe Thorogood’s first graphic novel is a story about what it’s like to get something you want, have it immediately taken away from you and then how you put it all back together again. Set in a world of people down on their luck from Middlesbrough to London, it’s a graphic novel that speaks of post-austerity Britain and the problems facing those left behind."

    The art is great, the characters feel real, and the issues with it are minor. I read it for a book club and loved reading this and discussing it
