Ahem," begins Sophie's father doubtfully. "He's not Turkish is he?" Sophie's new boyfriend Abou is certainly not Turkish - he's an asylum-seeker from Togo. Vanistendael wrote this "semi-autobiographical" graphic novel in response to a short story in which her father wrote about her relationship with a Togolese refugee. Yet Sophie's parents, who start out distrustful and finish up doing everything they can to help Abou escape deportation, come out rather well in this tender account.
