Reviews

"[Letting It Go is] thoughtful and unflinching but also frequently funny, and drawn with considerable grace." --National Post "Miriam Katin's Letting It Go is my kind of graphic memoir: loose, impressionistic, a portrait of the artist's inner life." --Los Angeles Times "Letting It Go is a moving, funny look inside the artist's thought processes as she reckons with her past and decides whether she's going to live out her golden years in a spirit of resentment or forgiveness." --AV Club
