In this dazzling literary debut, Rebecca Curtis displays the gifts that make her one of the most talented writers of her generation. Her characters--young women struggling to find happiness, love, success, security, and adventure--wait tables, run away from home, fall for married men, betray their friends, and find themselves betrayed as well.

In Hungry Self, a young waitress descends into the basement of a seemingly ordinary Chinese restaurant; in Twenty Grand, a young wife tries to recover her lost fortune; in Monsters, one family's paranoia leads to a sacrifice; and in The Witches, an innocent swim on prom night proves more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With elegant prose and a wicked sense of humor, these stories reveal Curtis's provocative and uncompromising view of life, one that makes her writing so poignant and irresistible.

The images are beautiful and horrifying
Format: Paperback
My first graphic novel. I am also a history buff. This tells the history of WWI in a simple to understand but no less thorough way. The images are beautiful and horrifying. Even my father (80) loved it. Great way to learn about history. I'll buy more graphic novels dealing with history.

Bought for my nephew. He went straight to his room and started reading it. He loves WWI but hates reading so this was perfect for him!

Not bad
Format: Kindle
I've never read anything exactly like this before. It was mostly historical and factual. But to be honest a lot of it I didn't know about before. I know more about world war 2 than I do about world war 1. Anyway it was refreshing and new and I reccommend it.

Well put together.
Format: Kindle
Very much worth purchasing to read for a few hours. Highly recommended. Not a lot of historic graphic novels in Kindle format, and wish there were more.
