Blossoms in Autumn, Hardcover

Ulysses is a 59-year-old widower who, since retiring, has been in the grip of loneliness. The former moving man is without direction or purpose. He can't even find solace in the company of his children: his daughter is dead, his son consumed by work.
Mrs. Solenza is a 62-year-old former model. Once a magazine cover star, she now runs the family business: a cheese shop owned by her late mother. She, too, is alone.

Two lives drift sadly by, inching ever closer to old age. Until, one day, they collide--and an emotional earthquake happens. A unique collaboration between veteran comics writer Zidrou and rising star Aim e de Jongh, Blossoms in Autumn is a masterful exploration of growing old and falling in love.

Zidrou (Benoît Drousie) is a comics writer. He is the author of numerous children's books and adult graphic novels. Born in Brussels, he lives in Spain.
