In this graphic novel, Charlene is a divorced mom, has a young son named Brandon, and works full-time as a nurse while also caring for her infirmed father. She is barely holding their lives together when tragedy strikes and leaves Charlene and Brandon on their own. Charlene, who has put everyone but herself first for years, sees it as an opportunity for a new start of sorts. That is, at least, until her easy-come, easy-go brother, Robbie - a well-intentioned but unserious semi-professional musician - rolls back into town after a long absence. Brandon, a good kid who aches for his absent father, focuses his grief on his cat, Batman, who hasn't been seen for a few days since he ran into the sugar cane fields that lie on the edge of their housing tract. No One Else is a graphic novel of great tender truth, as Charlene, Brandon, and Robbie learn to navigate life day to day with their plans, fears, and desires. Gorgeously drawn and set in the author's hometown on the Hawaiian island of Maui, it is the long-awaited follow up to Johnson's acclaimed debut graphic novel, Night Fisher, and a mature work of literary fiction that is certain to be one of the most talked-about books of 2021.… (altro)

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

An old man dies. His children grieve in their own way. His grandson is more preoccupied with a missing cat. Oh, wait, here's the cat. End.

Being set in Hawaii does little to make the above more interesting. Nice pictures though.

I read four two-star books today. Maybe it's me? ( )

A short graphic novel depicting the harsh reality of being a full time caregiver and single parent. Charlene is a full time nurse who struggles to stay on top of caring for her aging father and young son. When her father suffers a tragic accident she is barely holding it together. Then her hippie brother shows up out of nowhere and adds fuel to the fire. Where has he been all these years and how dare he try to criticize her life. An honest and painful look into caregiving that many will understand and empathize with. ( )

This graphic novel is set in Hawaii. It tells the story of a single mother and son who care for her aging father. A tragedy brings the family together including her brother who left for his career. The brother helps the mother and son deal with the tragedy in their own special ways. I thought it was a wonderful book that teaches us all the strength of family. ( )
