"A masterpiece. I'm absolutely mad about this book , the best graphic novel I've read so far this year." -- Rachel Cooke, The Guardian "Camille Jourdy's Juliette may be the most sedate comic of the summer. It might also be the best." -- Washington Post "This book is worth reading for its gorgeous art alone, expressing a wide palette of feelings spread across members of this torn, but still loving, family." -- NPR "Jourdy's detailed watercolor style is full of depth and colorful details. Juliette is an engaging story of a family in flux, perfect for fans of Daniel Clowes." -- Booklist "Jourdy draws slice-of-life at its best.


" -- Publishers Weekly "Executed in watercolour and consistently blushing with pigment, Juliette takes us behind the curtains and beneath the sheets." -- ArtReview "Family dysfunction, mental illness, and alcoholic malaise are hardly uplifting topics, yet French author and illustrator Camille Jourdy manages to utterly delight in Juliette . Jourdy's whimsically expressive watercolors highlight and enhance the quotidian humanity of a family in crisis without ever diminishing the gravity of her characters' challenges." -- Shelf Awareness "The author shows every indication of having found and refined her visual signature to perfection. [ Juliette is a] brilliantly affecting book." -- Montreal Review of Books "Filled with the dappled brightness of happiness and suffering, Juliette is suffused with all the heartbreaking foibles of us humans and our ongoing quests for love." -- The Tyee "Camille Jourdy blends magic with melancholy to create an exquisite comic experience." -- Broken Frontier " Juliette is rich, dense, and melancholic with enormous attention paid to detail in all its forms.


It's a graphic novel to treasure and to re-read." -- Slings & Arrows "Utterly lovely [and] pleasingly unhurried. Jourdy gives over whole pages to empty streets in springtime, or still lifes where you can almost feel the sunlight hanging in the air." -- The Telegraph "My favourite graphic novel of the year, [a] funny and gorgeously illustrated book about a depressed young woman who returns to the small French town where she grew up." -- The Guardian, Rachel Cooke's Best Graphic Novels of 2023.
