Produktinformationen "Billy, Me & You"
A moving, surprisingly funny, and inspiring graphic memoir by a woman who lost her two-year-old son after heart surgery, Billy, Me & You is a bracing and memorable account of recovery after bereavement. Nicola Streeten¿s little boy, Billy, was two years old when he died following heart surgery for problems diagnosed only a few days earlier. Ten years later, Streeten revisited her diaries and notebooks made at the time: this wonderfully vibrant narrative recounts how she and her partner recovered. Gut-wrenchingly sad at times, her graphic memoir is an unforgettable portrayal of trauma and our reaction to it ¿ and, especially, the humour or absurdity so often involved in our responses. As Streeten¿s story unfolds and we follow her and her partner¿s heroic efforts to cope with well-meaning friends and day-to-day realities, we begin to understand what she means by her aim to create a `dead baby story that is funny¿. Streeten is the first British woman to have published a graphic memoir.
