Polar Vortex Launch Party With Denise Dorrance

Denise Dorrance is launching her brand new graphic novel Polar Vortex here at Gosh! on Wednesday 28th February 2024, from 7-9pm. We're incredibly excited to get our hands on this book and welcome Denise to the shop.

Dorrance is an established illustrator and cartoonist whose work has been published in numerous newspapers and magazines. Her first graphic novel, Polar Vortex, is a very personal story about returning home to help care for her mother who is suffering with dementia. Here are some words about it from publisher New River Books:

"A graphic novel by former Mail cartoonist Denise Dorrance about the mayhem that ensues on discovering that a frail, elderly parent has got dementia – a story about mothers and daughters, the power of family and what it really means to go home.

In the middle of a brutally harsh winter, Susan returns to her claustrophobic hometown in America’s Midwest to organise urgent care for her elderly, dementia-ridden mother before the insurance runs out…"
