Even the most imperfect journey can lead to beauty.
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn’t imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships and work—and above all, herself— radically changed.
Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Štěpánka Jislová.
“Lighthearted yet insightful. . . . An adept portrayal of how looks are never just about looks.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Bald is not an adventurous adventure. Or perhaps it is, or at least as adventurous as a princess in an ancient realm surrounded by dangers (and suitors), coming to realize herself, her destiny.”
