I had never read George Sand’s work before and this introduction through graphic novel was interesting!
The art style was absolutely gorgeous and a treat to look at! The story itself is full of passion and secrets/treasons…A true classic.
I admit I was very surprised by the end since the book seems to be over with several white pages until we go back to George Sand talking about her book, (now as an older woman) revealing the end of her novel.

I recommend for those who want to discover this classic in another form!

A beautiful narrative about women finding not only themselves but also the freedom to do so. I found the authors strength to not only propel the narrative of Virgina's story but also to let her live on her own. I love adult graphic novels and the illustrations were gorgeous in this. Graphic novels also provide a different avenue of learning history and understanding text which I love the representation that brings! A great read indeed :)

I loved this graphic novel and loved tge way it portrayed the Indiana a classic bu george sand. The illustrations and tge art was beautifully done. I have read Indiana a while back and i was excited to read the graphic novel version of it for a long time.

This was the first novel of Amantine Aurore Dupin, better known in the literary world as George Sand. It is the story of Indiana, a young French Creole girl who grew up on the Isle of Bourbon, known today as Reunion. She is married to an older French nobleman and living in Paris. The plot revolves around her unhappy marriage, her love for a handsome young neighbor, and her friendship with Ralph, her loyal cousin and protector. The themes of the novel touch on adultery, unfulfilled love, and class and gender inequality in early 19th century France.

Those who love classic novels will enjoy this. I think the art style helped convey the tone and time period well.
