The first graphic novel that explores postpartum depression. A story of reconstruction and resilience. Marietta and Clovis, madly in love, are expecting a baby. But childbirth marks the end of the fairy tale. Zoe's birth didn't go as Marietta imagined, and the maternal instinct is slow to manifest itself. While she no longer recognises her body, Marietta feels herself losing her footing in the face of this vulnerable baby for whom she is now responsible. Will she manage to feel like a mother? To love her baby? To stop thinking that a proxy mom would do better than her? A humorous but realistic viewpoint on a problem experienced by a significant number of new mothers, with an insight on how to overcome it.
