When her judgmental mother-in-law, Bella, arrives, she's more of a burden than a help, criticizing mealtimes, bedtimes, and of course, the ever-present shushu. When not dispensing unsolicited advice, Bella lounges in a Valium-induced haze on the sofa. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiri is overwhelmed--not just by Bella, but by the new roles assigned to her. Her identity is subsumed in the relentless rhythm of nursery runs, dinner prep, and the demands of domesticity. All the while, Frances, ever watchful, gathers her lessons in silence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a tender, sharp, and quietly powerful story about the isolation of motherhood, and the pacifiers--both literal and metaphorical--we pass down through generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the creators of \u003cem\u003eAlte Zachen\u003c\/em\u003e (V\u0026amp;A Award-winner and Carnegie-shortlisted), this marks Cicada's first adult graphic novel.
