Recenzii
Subtle and deliciously complicated
Alison is a haunting book, complex and intimate. Lizzy Stewart has written and drawn the aches and confusions of love and growing up with immense skill
I totally loved Alison. It's the story of the life of an artist told with subtlety and truth. It made me cry and I immediately wanted to share it with female friends
A delicious portrait of 80s and 90s London and a more universal tale of a working-class young woman making a life in a world that has not been designed for the likes of her. For all its effortlessness [...] Alison ends up carrying a great emotional heft. It's a lovely book, and I cried at the end
Sad and sweet and joyful and hopeful.
A genius graphic novel (but lots of words) about a young woman from Dorset who leaves her life to be with a much older famous artist in London. It's also brilliant on relationships, creativity and friendship (and the art world)
Her compassionate depictions of women alone, women together, will undoubtedly find welcoming audiences
Her every page looks exquisite, which is entirely fitting, given that this is a book about an artist. Alison is Posy Simmonds meets Edward Bawden - and really, what higher praise could there be?
A vivid and moving book about friendship, art and making hard choices to stay on a creative path
Alison absorbed, delighted and moved me with its quiet truthfulness. No shouting, no hatred, no bitterness-just a patient, determined tackling of the eternal question: how can a woman artist fight her way out of the back seat and get behind the wheel?
Lizzy's work is beautifully executed with an eye for composition, colour and fine detail
This book is a testament to the right to choose your own life. It is a tender, heartbreaking meditation on the bonds between women, the dazzle of the city, the struggle to become a female artist within the bounds of patriarchy, and the desire to make a mark on the world. It made me long for my friends; the dreams we have shared over the years and the ways in which they make the world feel possible. I want to give a copy to everyone I love
A captivating new graphic novel that could have been dreamt up by Edna O'Brien and Judith Kerr of The Tiger Who Came To Tea fame, had they ever collaborated.
What is it like to be a muse who is also an artist? Lizzie Stewart's Alison is a tender and powerfully precise work about class, gender, patriarchy and race in the art world of the late 20th century. And, like Alison's own paintings, its clear perspective on the wrongs of this world never overshadows its generous capacities for beauty, love and joy
Every now and again a book comes along that is such a bright joy, so true, so beautiful and moving. Alison is one of those books. I loved it
Beautiful ... A coming-of-age tale with stunning artwork that will resonate with women everywhere
Alison's various relationships, which are few but complex, are beautifully drawn - both figuratively and literally - especially a friendship she strikes up with a female sculptor. And the author skilfully manages to tease out all the nuances of a life in a tale that, despite being as old as the hills, manages to feel fresh and relevant
A beautiful depiction of life as an artist, of the movements of love and time. I absolutely loved it.
Stewart does a wonderful job
Alison is a marvel. A compassionate story of art, friendship, agency and desire, beautifully told through pictures and prose
A highlight ... subtle and sympathetic
Stewart's artwork is sensuous, lush and gorgeously textured. The best-looking book of the year
Every page is a marvel; I absolutely loved it to death
I adore this book. The gorgeous inky drawings guide us with so much more than words. The story; quiet but compelling. An altogether beautiful book that I defy anyone not to love
Nuanced, lovely, and very real, Alison haunted me for days and left me wanting to give it to everyone I know
Praise for It's Not What You Thought It Would Be: 'This brilliant debut collection explores the intensity of teenage ennui and female friendship, with a deft feel for its slights and tensions
Mournful, lovely ... Stewart's dynamic, warm, flowing art invites the reader in
A quietly powerful book, and Stewart's well chosen and often witty dialogue goes straight to the heart. Her artwork is filmic and beautiful
