Gray Horses
This gentle and poetic graphic novel by celebrated author Hope Larson explores dreams and reality through the eyes of a sincere, inquisitive young heroine, Noemie. Noemie has left her home in France to study abroad. In Onion City there are new friends, new environments, and new loves. There are also new dreams. And not ordinary dreams. Vivid visions of life in a different time and in a different place, but more than that, of a different existence. In Noemie's sleep she's not a woman, but a horse. A noble creature aiding a sick little girl. But how does this effect Noemie's own journey?

Description
"Larsen's second book is a delight . . . Noemie's dreams of family and horses dovetail with her own journey toward adulthood, as she begins to resolve her own melancholy and embark on a new part of her life. Larson renders all of this in black and yellow, expertly spotting her colors to create the kind of swirling, beautiful spaces one imagines when exploring both a city and a dream . . . Larson also uses dialogue in French throughout, adding an unexpected charm and authenticity to her story. The tale feels lived in—or dreamt of—anchoring the sometimes overly sentimental dialogue in concrete emotions. Gray Horses is a fine evocation of being young and searching in the big city—recommended for the romantics among us." -- Publishers Weekly
