The third volume in this intelligent and endearing look at bourgeois life in Côte d'Ivoire – The Ivory Coast to those of us in the English speaking world – during the 1970s that focuses on the trials and tribulations of a large cast of characters (that are helpfully outlined in a double page spread to assist those readers for whom this volume is their first to get up to speed) that centers on a young woman named Aya. Oubrerie's art is stunning as usual, as he continues to bring to life the unique color pallet of western Africa. At once exotic and mundane, this series truly brings this time and place back to life.
