The award-winning author of Exit Wounds returns with a story about secrets, money and the complex bonds of love.

Winner of the 2014 Eisner Comic Industry Award
After the death of her son, Regina Segal takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw, hoping to reclaim a family property lost during World War II. As they get to know modern Warsaw, Regina is forced to recall difficult things about her past, and Mica begins to wonder if maybe their reasons for coming arenīt a little different than her grandmother led her to believe.

Rutu Modan offers up a world populated by prickly seniors, officious public servants, and stubborn women - a world whose realism is expressed alternately in the absurdity of peopleīs behaviour, and in the complex consequences of their sacrifices. Modanīs ever-present wit is articulated perfectly in her clear-line style, while a subtle, almost muted colour palette complements the true-to-life nuances of her characterisation. Savvy and insightful, elegant and subtle, The Property is a triumph of storytelling and fine lines. Modanīs first full-length graphic novel, Exit Wounds , made a huge splash for this signature combination of wit, style and realism; The Property cements Modanīs status as one of the foremost cartoonists working today.

Winner of the 2014 Eisner Comic Industry Award
