Lost in the Alps

Summary: A Gentle Story of Discovery
Review: The voyage of discovery is the theme of this graphic novel about a young English novelist who travels to the Swiss Alps in the 1920s to find out what happened to the brother he barely knew. The brother, a composer and pianist, was much older and died in an accident while staying at a grand hotel. In his search, the young man discovers love and has some minor adventures. It's nothing grand, but more of a gently told old-fashioned story of youth. The sleepy village and stolid villagers are beautifully rendered in razor thin black and white lines, as is the vast landscape.
