The Arrival
In a heartbreaking parting, a man gives his wife and daughter a last kiss and boards a steamship to cross the ocean. Shaun Tan evokes universal aspects of an immigrant's experience through a singular work of the imagination. He's embarking on the most painful yet important journey of his life - he's leaving home to build a better future for his family.
Because the main character can't communicate in words, the book forgoes them too. He does so using brilliantly clear and mesmerizing images. But while the reader experiences the main character's isolation, he also shares his ultimate joy.
