Adrian and the Tree of Secrets Hubert Marie Caillou Books

In a long line of coming of age stories, this simple and subdued story stands out! The artwork is stunning and while some of the themes may be very much hackneyed, it still somehow manages to captivate. I relate very much to Adrian as I'm sure many other gay people do. His experiences are universal and that's what makes this so successful. I'm proud to have this in my library and I can't wait to recommend it to all my friends.

Adrian and the Tree of Secrets Hubert Marie Caillou Books Reviews

Seriously, in this day and age to be creating a story about young gay men that inevitably ends in tragedy! I thought we'd gotten past this story line years ago when it was de riguer for any book with gay characters to feature a tragic ending. While the blossoming of first love and admission of attraction are handled well, and certainly there's still plenty of anti-gay bullying experienced by young people, to feature two suicides, one admitted and the final one suggested, without a disclaimer or even a suggestion of the resources available, like the Trevor Project, is grossly irresponsible. The message here is that if you don't have a supportive, understanding parent, if your first love rejects you out of fear and internalized homophobia, then the only way to resolve things is to throw yourself into the cold deep ocean and disappear. From a graphic perspective, while the overall look is appealing, it's also clear that Hubert never took an anatomy class and studied how people actually move, stand, bend, run, etc. There's an odd uncomfortable stiffness to the figures.
The reason for one star is the book is completely unreadable in eBook form, which is the form I purchased the book. I purchased the eBook after a glowing review by an international news paper. The eBook form of the book does not work. You are supposed to be able to expand the picture but it doesn't do that. So the text is way too small to read and the picture is so tiny you can't really tell what is going on in the frame. I purchased this sometime ago and reported the problem to but the problem isn't fixed after a month. I wonder why did not check the product they were to sell. Why would a reputable company sell a product that clearly does not work. This experience leads me to be less trusting of books for or eBooks from . did take the product off its offerings after I alerted them to its unreadability. I would not suggest any eBook form of this publication till it is fixed. I will be cautious of further eBook forms of purchase from in the future. This is not an obscure book.
Unusual story about a kid's "coming out" in a French Catholic family.
Kinda depressing.
