Forté

‘'You know who listen to music? People! And you act too good for them!''

A beautiful story of a young woman from Brazil who experiences a terrible loss at a very young age. Blessed with immense talent and unique feeling, she travels to Paris to study Music and become a professional pianist, following her dream. Flavia meets young adults from all over the world. Some share the same passion for Music, others are there because they had to comply with their parents' wishes.

Flavia goes through an intense journey of discovery. She understands that the ones we idolize often turn to ash when their real self kicks in. She becomes stronger and remains true to her principles without forgetting her mother and her homeland. She is feisty and speaks before she thinks but I have committed this crome too many times and she reminded me of my obnoxious self. I loved her!

The artwork is simple but effective, the translation is excellent and there is a feeling of tenderness, innocence and determination throughout. I loved every minute I spent with Forte.

Many thanks to Europa Comics and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
