Disturbing, sad and also amusing in the grimmest way possible. ( ) Bad parents make bad children who become bad maids to bad employers and then bad murderers of bad people. Katie Skelly sets a bizarre tone for a tale that I did not realize until the end was a dramatization based on a true story. The graphic novel didn't actually do much for me, and I felt I learned more about the crime and its repercussions on the Wikipedia page. There's a list of other works there inspired by the events that seem like they might be more interesting. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Christine Papin, an overworked live-in maid, is reunited with her younger sister, Lea, who has also been hired by the wealthy Lancelin family. They make the estate's beds, scrub the floors, and spy on the domestic strife that routinely occurs within its walls. What starts as petty theft by the maids -- who are flashing back to their tumultuous time in a convent -- shortly turns into something more nefarious. Madame Lancelin's increasingly unhinged abuse ignites the sisters' toxic upbringing and social class exploitation and explodes into a ghastly double murder, an event that shocked and fascinated 1930s France and beyond. Maids has high bravura and high intrigue, all drawn in Skelly's highly stylized manner, which combines the best of pop art, manga, and Eurocomics. Full-color illustrations throughout."--Amazon.
