The House
Book
Roca's quietest book. Three grown siblings, José, Vicente and Carla, return to the vacation home their late father built and kept tinkering with, to clear it out and decide whether to sell. Every half-finished repair and overgrown corner brings back a different memory, because each of them remembers those summers differently.
Roca keeps the camera at a polite middle distance and lets small changes in the house carry the grief, so it suits anyone who liked the restraint of Wrinkles. Andrea Rosenberg's translation came out from Fantagraphics in 2019 and won the Eisner Award for Best U.S. Edition of International Material in 2020.
