review:
'Blossoms in Autumn' by Zidrou with art by Aimée de Jongh is a graphic novel about love at any age.

The two main characters are Ulysses, 59, who has been a widower for a while. He's just been laid off from his longtime job as a mover. He's trying to figure out what to do with his life now. He meets Mediterranea, 62, who has just lost her mother. The two hit it off and the two find out things about each other, like that Mediterranea was a nude model when she was younger, or Ulysses not liking to read because of all the heavy books he's had to read along the way.

I really liked this story of love at an older age. There are a couple weird plot turns, but I'm willing to go with that because the characters are so charming and human. The art is good. There is nudity and adult themes in this one, plus the subect of old people in love may turn away younger readers.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
