Lema B. Vyshivaja rany

Author Lema B.
Title Vyshivaja rany
Description Bea Lema is a Spanish artist and comics author whose work often draws on autobiographical material and returns to family life, trauma, and mental illness. "Embroidering Wounds" (El Cuerpo de Cristo) is her graphic novel about a childhood spent beside a severely ill mother. The main character, Vera, grows up in a home where maternal love is constantly entangled with fear, religious delusion, and helplessness. Her mother spends long periods in bed, exhausted and withdrawn. Her father often steps away from this reality, and the girl has to grow up too early and carry pain that should never have been hers. The book shows how a child learns to live inside a difficult family history and slowly becomes a source of support for a loved one. In spite of the heaviness of the subject, this is a careful and moving account of family life, attachment, shame, and survival.
