Memories From Limón cover

A beautiful and emotive graphic novel from award-winning author Edo Brenes, which weaves together stories from across time to piece together a narrative that will stick with you for years to come.

Love and life is a struggle in paradise: welcome to Limón. Ramiro leaves the British drizzle and his beloved fiancé Yoss to investigate his family history back home in Costa Rica. What starts as an innocent fascination with an old family photo album leads to conversations with the older generations and revelations he is not prepared for. This intimate and evocative graphic novel uncovers a family secret, set against the idyllic Caribbean coastline in one of the most beautiful countries in Latin America. Author Edo Brenes weaves together the heartbreaking and humbling stories of three generations.

Funny and sweetly told graphic novel debut full of reminiscences. * Publishers Weekly *
Brenes digs into the family's secrets, revealing affairs, superstitions, ruined football careers and memories from the civil war of 1948 in this charmingly illustrated collection of anecdotes. * The Monocle *
For a first graphic novel (...) it's sturdy step, and Brenes should become a talent whose work is anticipated. -- Karl Verhoven * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide *
