Ephemera by Briana Loewinsohn

                     Ephemera by Briana Loewinsohn is a graphic novel memoir about the death of the author’s mother. Loewinsohn’s art was gorgeous and unique and I appreciated how she explored her feelings through plants. I was hoping for a little more of a story, but the novel was mostly visual. I felt connected to the author’s story and her symbolism, but it still felt like it was lacking a little. I want to review more about it, but I feel like there’s not much more that I could add.           Overall, I enjoyed the graphic novel and it was a fast read, but I don’t think I would read it again. Personally, I’d rate it a 3/5. Quotes Dedication Page For my mum and other things that were not built to last. Page 157 Understand why we weren't enough. Page 162 I always envied the camellias.  They grow without strain- such an easy, solid plant. Not like me. For me the world was so hard. I could never figure it out.
