Fleeing the fires of her war-torn homeland, a young woman travels to the New World in search of gold to rebuild her life. In this strange, lawless land, Joana encounters friends (the kind Native women Tala and Opa), foes (the cruel gold hunter Matwei and his men), and an unexpected traveling companion who may just be her good luck charm - and amidst the icy reaches of the wilderness, a fearsome fantastical beast lurks in the shadows. The English debut of Spanish cartoonist and illustrator Núria Tamarit, Daughters of Snow and Cinders conjures the awesome natural beauty of the frozen north in vibrant color. A rugged adventure story with two strong young women at its heart, this graphic novel offers a poignant message about the urgent need for humanity to overcome our greed and base impulses to be good stewards of the world in which we live and depend on.… (mehr)

La couverture de ce livre est belle, les illustrations à l’intérieur aussi, même si les personnages apparaissent faussement naïfs, mais cela donne plus de place au dessin des paysages dans lesquels l’œil aime se perdre. L’idée est intéressante, d’une quête féminine dans un monde sans âge puisque l’autrice emprunte à l’histoire autant les ruées vers l’or du XIXème siècle que les guerres espagnoles du XXème, le tout mâtiné d’un brin de réalisme magique.
Mais, parce qu’hélas il y a un mais, le propos féminisme laisse vite place à un propos anti-homme, et cela m’ empêchée de profiter de ma lecture et des dessins tout au long de l’histoire. C’est donc une lecture ratée pour moi, et c’est bien dommage.

Fleeing her fire and war-torn homeland, Joana travels to the New World in search of gold to rebuild her life. Along the way she meets friends, foes, and an unlikely companion who may turn into her good luck charm. But the men in this New World are greedy and bloodthirsty for gold and along with a fearsome beast that’s lurking in the shadows, Joana has a lot to look out for if she wants to return home.

The themes of this graphic novel are of nature and protecting and living among/with it, human violence and what colonization has done to the plant.

The art of this is beautiful and interesting. I first saw this book as an ARC, so it was in black and white, and even then I knew I needed to read it in full color. Also, I’m a sucker for three legged animals and Peg had my heart within seconds, so I knew I needed to know her adventure.

I can see myself recommending this ecofeminist graphic novel to quite a few people.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this -- on the one hand -- it's beautiful. Really breathtaking art that spans the nostalgia of a land remembered and the beauty of a land unknown. It glories in the skies and the earth and the wonder of the natural world and the strength of women in caring for that world. As a story it is also powerful, tapping into the push and pull of trying to prove yourself, to survive, to offer kindness, to trust, and knowing that our existence is destructive. I also appreciate so much that the women characters are depicted as so much more than a pretty face -- they are strong and tough and resourceful and resilient. They are also sensual, purposeful and fierce. And while they are abused and degraded and disfigured, it doesn't slow them them down.

On the other hand, I have a hard time with the anti-male message. It's too broad for me, even while I agree with it on some level, and I think many women have reasons to never trust men -- it's hard to accept a complete rejection of all men. It's also a little confusing, because there are clearly good male characters as well, but the message is quite uncompromising. It has that overly simplistic but profound fairy-tale storytelling that causes me to question everything.

Overall, I think the eco-sympathetic message is awesome, and I appreciate that the women apply it to themselves as well. I think there is a great deal of commentary in the exploitation of Tala and Opa as Native women. I am troubled both by how they are treated (horrifying and accurate) and by their somewhat stereotyped characterization. I mean, in a lot of ways all of the characters are stereotypes acting out a fable, but I hope the author engaged some Indigenous advisors when writing the book.
