Short review: Lonely London card-designer receives a postcard from Pacific Islander Sabine—and Sabine claims to see Griffin's drawing as he makes them. So begins a strange correspondence between the two, illuminated by their illustrated postcards, as they explore their extraordinary connection.
Griffin & Sabine is original, intriguing, and finely nuanced, but it is so short that the plot developments seem hasty. Still it is a magical journey, and I recommend it.
