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 Aimée de Jongh, Blossoms in Autumn is a masterful exploration of growing old and falling in love.

Aimée de Jongh is an award-winning animator, comics artist and illustrator from the Netherlands. She published her first comic at 17, before studying animation. She has since created work for children's books, TV shows, music videos, and art installations, as well as for numerous comic book series.

The Return of the Honey Buzzard, her first graphic novel, won the Prix Saint-Michel.
