Body consciousness and generational trauma cast long shadows in this inventive, dexterous modern fable from promising newcomer Oberländer. Readers of all ages will want to linger over every page of this clever feminist tale.—Publishers Weekly Starred Review

This modern-day folktale is a tour de force, a Germanic fable of generational trauma and radical female acceptance.—Broken Frontier

This book is a highly entertaining tour de force, running the entire emotional gamut.—Joe Kessler (The Gull Yettin, 2023)

Oberländer’s underlying message of female bodies striving to conform to spaces too narrow to contain them is powerful.—NY Journal of Books

A strongly feminist, starkly adorned debut effort.—Cinema Sentries

An absolutely wonderful, amusing and sometimes deeply sad graphic novel that tells the story of three generations of very tall women. With haunting, sometimes grotesquely exaggerated images, Oberländer creates a true story that combines historical, social and psychological lines.—Birgit Reuther, Hamburger Abendblatt

Oberländer presents an amusing, multi-faceted and creative perspective on life as a grown-up woman. It shows that the Annas are not too big for the world, but that the world is too small for the Annas.—Joanna Piekarska, Aviva
