Review: Parfait - Un très beau témoignage sur Hiroshima. Review: Powerful and Violent. Important, but not for the faint of heart - The book is well made, sturdy and arrived on time. This powerful autobiographical graphic novel is not for the faint of heart. I feel like I am processing the author’s childhood as it is happening. Watching this painful moment in Japan’s history play out in a way that holds nothing back, told from the perspective of a child is so affecting. I carried the weight and pain around with me for days after I finished the book. The author goes into the political tensions and their effects of the poor and seemingly disconnected innocents of this war. This book gave them a face and showed a disconnected westerner a clear understanding of the suffering the war caused the Japanese people. It is a visual and emotional portrayal of a child’s life of struggle caused by war. You follow our protagonist as his childlike focus on the day to day is constantly being confused and upset by things caused by forces beyond his control. Highly recommend. Know it is a very graphic, violent, upsetting, and honest telling of the author’s perspective of Hiroshima in 1945 leading up to the nuclear bombing of the city. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,460 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #290 in Library & Information Science #1,028 in Mangas #2,613 in Comics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 267 Reviews | ## Images ![Barefoot Gen Volume 1: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AaikMJaHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parfait *by K***A on 14 October 2018* Un très beau témoignage sur Hiroshima. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful and Violent.
