I had just checked this book out of the library today because I was a little intrigued and once I picked it up I could not put it back down. I'd say I read it in about 45 minutes total so I could soak in all the information and details. I absolutely loved it from beginning to end from Regina's wit and don't give a dang attitude at the airport to the end of the book when you see the similarity between her and her granddaughter on the plane ride home. It was truly a nice read.

Perhaps 4.5 stars if I’m being extra picky, but I just sat down to read a bit and got totally swept away. Felt a little emotional turning the last page too!

I love the setting, the art, the politics, and the story and characters were intriguing. I'll read anything Rutu writes. I've already read Exit Wounds. On to her compilation, Jamilti and Other Stories.

Mica takes her grandmother, a Jew who escaped the Holocaust in Poland by a few years, back to Warsaw to look into some property she left behind. But Regina has a a big secret. Complicated and beautiful story! Modan's pacing and structure has come a long way!

This was really very nice story with lots of heart, humor, romance and surprises. Mica and her grandma Regina goes to Poland to find their old property that they lost during WWII. Soon story moves and reveals lots of secrets of Regina's past that just surprised me one by one. Then there was a polish guy who is comic artist and try to make comic on Regina's story. He falls in love with Mica and then a sweet love story begins which I really loved so much. Artwork is unique and has it's own charm.

An old Jewish woman travels with her granddaughter from Israel to Warsaw, ostensibly to recover an apartment lost to the Nazi invasion in WW2. But she has secrets. Over the course of a week we learn what really happened decades earlier and how that will impact her family.There’s a lot to admire here. There are so many amazingly human moments in The Property. The characterizations are remarkable, each one feels so very real. I just didn’t like any of them. With only one exception the characters a...

Oh my god, did this graphic novel make me cry and laugh. Really, really well-done story by Israeli artist Modan, about a young woman and her grandmother going to Warsaw to find out about a property her grandmother's family owned before the war. There is also some romance, an annoyingly boorish acquaintance, and a very sly sense of humor. I wish I still taught Jewish-themed comic book classes so I could force people to read this.

Loved it! It left me in tears at the end. But I especially love it when a book surprises me and I would never have predicted even at three quarters of the way through it that it would end as it did. Well, some of it is not surprising, but some of it definitely is. By the author/artist of Exit Wounds, which I also liked, but I like this even more. Same beautiful art, an even richer story. Maybe it won't be too much of a spoiler to say that it is a romance which didn't look like that at all from t...

Rutu Modan’s second graphic novel, The Property, is her best book yet and one of the best comics of the year. Mica Segal and her grandmother Regina head from Israel to Warsaw to reclaim family property that was lost in World War 2. But as Mica soon realises, her grandmother has other reasons for returning to her former home that has to do with her grandmother’s recently deceased son, Reuben, and a life left behind long ago. Modan takes an already interesting story from the beginning and slowly p...

Home to the largest population of Jews in Europe before the war (about 3.300.000, of which an estimated 90% were killed in the Holocaust), Poland has more property that was stolen during the war and nationalized in its aftermath than any other nation. Yet Poland is the only country in Europe that has not passed legislation to compensate owners for properties seized under Nazi and communist rule. Several efforts to pass regulations since the fall of the communist regime have failed, mainly becaus...

A wonderful graphic novel about how properties were lost by during the war in Poland and claiming them back was such a difficult thing. The visuals are very touching and they speak as much as reading a book.

Sometimes you read a book and you love it to death but you can't even begin to find the words to describe what you liked about it because it pushed so many of your buttons at once that the whole experience was just too engrossing and overwhelming to analyze.

In this graphic novel Regina Segal, a Polish Jew who now lives in Israel, takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw to reclaim family property lost during World War 2. How well do we know our parents or grandparents? How about our family secrets? This story is not what is seems on the surface. There is the publicly declared mission that Mica believes they are on, and then there is the private mission that Grandmama is on. I really liked the art in this book, and appreciated the humorous touches to

Translated from the Hebrew and Polish by Jessica CohenIn this graphic novel, Mica accompanies her proud and proper grandmother from Tel Aviv to Warsaw to reclaim the deed to an apartment building their family was forced to abandon in World War II. Family secrets unveil over their time in Warsaw, as new relationships blossom.Modan's illustrations are colorful and clear. I read her earlier graphic novel, Exit Wounds, many years ago and was glad to see her art and storytelling again. This was a gre...

Interesting graphic novel about the property rights of Jewish families after WWII. The story follows a grandmother and her granddaughter as they go in search of the property.

4 stars! I really liked this one. It's got heart. The Property is about a grandma (Regina) and a granddaughter (Mica) they travel from Israel to Poland. According to the grandmother's lawyer from twenty years ago...Regina has inherited a piece of property that was her parents. Mica has gone with her grandmother on this journey to help out. Unbeknownst to them a family friend has also "tagged" along to keep an eye on the whole endeavor. He is secretly working with someone *wink wink*. Regina star...

Mica and her Grandmother, Regina, fly to Warsaw from Israel to check on some property that may still be in the family. Regina hasn't returned to Poland since WWII began, decades ago. But once they get to Warsaw, Mica's grandmother keeps giving her the runaround about the property. Over the course of the book, we discover the secrets Regina is hiding, Mica begins a new relationship and a friend of the family makes a nuisance of himself. No one is exactly what they seem. The book is filled with hu...

I love coming across books I didn't know about yet end up loving, but it rarely happens. The Property is the tale of Regina Segal and her granddaughter Mica, who return to Warsaw to get back the family home that was lost during the Second World War. The Property is an emotional tale of heritage and family secrets, but with a sense of humour too. I picked it up because I'm intrigued by World War II stories but I got much more: an emotional graphic novel that I continued to think about long after ...

A story of a family secret, kept so long, that everyone has a different notion of the truth. Many strange, sometimes funny, somewhat heart-breaking, situations occur due to the secrets kept by Mica's grandmother when they return after generations to Warsaw, supposedly to reclaim their lost property.As the story unfolds readers are able to piece together the hidden truth, and then wait to see whether or not Mica is able to piece together the story that her grandmother, Regina, obviously wants to

Romance has always played a large part in my life and been of tremendous importance to me—primarily perhaps because I engage it so vicariously. Romance and romantic ideals have always held themselves at a bit of an arm’s length from both my experiences and my way of expressing my love for others.I didn’t find myself at last involved in a reciprocated romantic relationship until I was twenty-three. I had my first crush when I was six, when I realized that I (in some sense) wanted desperately to t...
