( ) Great story and while Lemire’s scratchy, expressive and very basic drawing style tells the story effectively, I had to knock down a star simply because I do tend to love drawings that have been more laboured over. Then again, sometimes stick figures do the job too but I just kept wishing he’d made more of an effort here. It’s a completely personal point of view and really has no bearing here coming as it does from an artist who hasn’t done any work for at least a couple of months now. So easy to be critical of others, eh? While Volume 3 of the Essex County series stands more solidly on its own than the first volume, I still disappoints. Some resolutions are only hinted at and others are pushed into the reader's face. A chart at the end is almost a declaration of acknowledged failed narrative. The entire Essex County trilogy is a decidedly mixed blessing. 4.5 stars. The end to the Essex County trilogy is as poignant as the others, with the same (and more) interlocking lives. This one has less hockey and more back history. I love Anne's "meddling" and caring in the life of the LaBoeuf boys and the recurring bird. Despite being relatively short word-wise, this is an epic family story. My only (worthless) complaint is I don't like the strange huge noses. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Country Nurse & Other Rural Legends, Myths, and Half-Truths follows a day in the life of Anne Morgan, the peculiar farming communities traveling nurse. As Anne checks in on her favorite patients we are introduced to such rural legends as the boy called Jimmy-Elelphant-Ears, and the Essex Farmer's Boxing Club! The story delves deeper into Essex County's mythology and finally reveals how all three volumes stitch together, quilting a portrait of how loss and regret push and pull at the fabric of family in small town life. The Country Nurse is the final volume in the critically acclaimed Essex County trilogy of graphic novels set in a fictionalized version of Lemire's hometown in Ontario, Canada.
