Résumé
When Julien arrives in Michigan to meet his wife's American family, he gets to know the American Midwest, as well as some unusual cousins. But above all, he meets Odette, his French great aunt with what one might call a resilient personality. Originally from Paris, she married an American soldier at the end of the Second World War. Like her, 200,000 other European "war brides" left behind their families and their countries to be with the G.I.s they loved.

Julien Frey was born in 1977 and grew up in Paris. From very early on, he felt a desire to tell stories, and soon decided to become a scriptwriter. Having obtained a degree in cinema studies, he gained his first experience as a writer for more than a dozen animated series, including "Casper" and "Geronimo Stilton." Later, Frey turned his attention to more personal projects, contributing to the comics journal "Papier," led by Lewis Trondheim. He then published the autobiographical graphic novel "Un jour, il viendra frapper à ta porte" (Delcourt) in 2014, together with artist Dominique Mermoux. And most recently, he collaborated with artist Lucas Varela on "Michigan: On the Trail of a War Bride" (Dargaud 2017; Europe Comics in English 2018), based on the story of a young French woman who follows an American soldier across the Atlantic following World War II — one of 200,000 such European "war brides."
