RaveThe GuardianBechdel\'s graphic memoir is a witty, melancholic and endearing insight into grief, sexuality and a search for happiness ... Despite their particularity, Bechdel\'s struggles have a resonance for anyone dealing with family life, which makes Fun Home both comforting and startling in its honesty ... Bechdel\'s coming-of-age in both an artistic and a sexual sense is closely personal and as a reader I feel almost privileged to be privy to her tale. At the same time, the heartrending humanity of the novel is a comforting reminder that life is horrible, hard but often beautiful.
