«À cause de la vie» is the graphic novel by Véronique Ovaldé and Joann Sfar, published by Flammarion in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Nathalie spends her days in a ruined salon waiting for a daring knight to come and rescue her. Halfway between a cruel tale and a fable, the work reinterprets courtly love from adolescence, with a mocking tone, strange characters and a touch of tenderness.
The work was published in March 2017 and includes illustrations by Joann Sfar.
For readers of illustrated narrative and for those who follow the work of Joann Sfar or Véronique Ovaldé.
