Our view
“Stitches” is a dark, affecting graphic memoir in which David Small recalls a cruel childhood. His sombre, watercolour-style images carry much of the story’s pain. Family and coming of age are its subjects, and the book does not soften either. It suits readers who can take a hard story told largely in pictures.
