It deals with the issues of student life, the loss of cultural identity through language and what it means to come from the cultural wasteland of Sydney to the cultural capital of the world - Paris. Through these funny and often life changing experiences, she realises the value of her hometown and that culture, no matter how it is perceived, plays an enormous role in the shaping of individuals. %K Bande Dessinee %K France %K Language %K graphic novel %U http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/portal/article/view/214
