Statement of responsibility from cover.

Translated from the Spanish.

"In her twilight years, Antonia cherishes a photo taken in her youth, a tableaux of her family at a Valencian beach in 1946. From this seemingly ordinary scene, her son, the renowned cartoonist Paco Roca, conjures a kaleidoscopic portrait of his mother's bittersweet upbringing in postwar Spain. In his most poignant graphic novel yet, Roca depicts Antonia's formative years in all their daily struggles and daydreams, from the traumas of hunger and abuse to the oases of joy and wonder. Return to Eden is at once a tender homage to the artist's mother and a reflection of the hardscrabble existence of a generation of Spaniards under the Franco dictatorship" --Publisher.
