The Delicacy

Fantastic book, I loved the arc and how fame got to both brothers differently. The artwork reminded me a lot of Munch’s “The Scream”, it was so expressive and artistic and colorful. The narrative ramp up and the twists and turns were fantastic. So glad I found this story!

Food lovers must have this on your collection next to your exotic and sophisticated cook books and magazines.

interesting story，and powerful illustration

This graphic novel was not at all what I was expecting. I was not expecting the story to take such a drastic turn. Though I must admit I really liked it. I am a person who thoroughly enjoys when plots tale a dark turn and this novel did this in such an interesting way. The illustrations as well were stunning. They had such a distinctive style and even in places where the illustrations weren't what could be considered conventionally beautiful I couldn't stop studying them. I was in awe of the work that was put into this novel. The colors alone were breath taking. This was probably the most surprising graphic novel I have read in a while. I definitely plan on talking this one up to all of my bookish friends as well as my customers. Thank you to Netgalley for an early review copy.

Beautiful art, thrilling story and gorgeous food! This graphic novel deserves 3 Michelin stars. Highly recommend to any admirer of fine food.

The artwork in this graphic novel is splendid, with colors and strokes that have a Van Gogh-like dreamy touch to them.Love how it starts as a simple story about brothers Rowan and Tulip living a content idyllic life on an island until an unexpected inheritance leads them to the mainland and big city dreams. The brothers open a modest restaurant and a special homegrown ingredient leads them to the path of success, fame and tragedy."The Delicacy" is a modern classic!

Set in the world of food and restaurants, this is a thriller story. But using the thriller as a facade, it has multiple layers crafted beautifully. Each layer doing a masterful job - world of gastronomes, mystery of mycelium, people’s romantic view of pastoral lands and cynical view about urbanisation, people in cities with greed and using ways to exploit and make money. All of these layers are beautifully tied into this nifty , beautiful graphic novel. Loved it.

I loved the sample and have purchased the kindle edition which is superb on my phone (Honor 10 lite).... Love the ability to focus seamlessly from one segment of the page to the next in sequence.What I dislike is the way that Amazon withhold the one star review out of the two listed.... .. So I won't be surprised if this review is not accessible.Normally I would have given this 5 star status.
