A vibrant tableau of small-town life as seen through the eyes of a woman returning home from Paris. Juliette boards a train from Paris and comes back to her hometown hoping for a low-key visit with family and old friends. What she finds is anything but. Her sister, a caregiver and mother of two, is carrying on an elaborate affair with a man from a costume shop. Her parents, separated, are now estranged. Father is sure he s developing Alzheimer s, though it s more likely that he s simply getting old. Mother, on the other hand, revels in the second act of her life as a free woman, an artist with a show at their local gallery to prove it. Slowly, Juliette finds herself entangled with the unlikely Georges, a dyspeptic alcoholic who is stuck in his life. These divergent paths inevitably cross against a gloriously painted backdrop of eccentric small-town living. Camille Jourdy s beautiful watercolor pages provide an unfeigned mileu for the subtle dramedy at hand in Juliette. All too real human emotions, bittersweet and relatable in their rawness, come together to form a poetic realism.
Camille Jourdy grew up in Dole, near the Jura Mountains in France. She studied at the Beaux-Arts d Epinal in Lorraine before heading for the Ecole des arts decoratifs in Strasbourg. She has authored and illustrated a number of award-winning graphic novels such as Rosalie Blum (Angouleme Prix Revelation, Prix RTL) and Les Vermeilles (Angouleme Fauve Jeunesse). She has worked with toy company Moulin Roty since 2012.
